We founded ShantiTrip Holidays on one clear premise: use our local expertise and smarts to curate unique, stress-free travel experiences that travelers do not get from conventional tour operators.
Our story goes 3 years back when Pankaj, the Co-founder, started Destination Of Peace Homestays (DOP) in Kasol — a place where travelers could feel relaxed, peaceful, and free, just like at home. Travelling to new and uncharted places usually brings with it its own set of anxieties and stresses — something Pankaj aimed at alleviating with DOP.
Also, being a Himachali, Pankaj could help travelers plan their itineraries and book their transport, accomodation, food arrangements — basically everything related to travel. DOP soon became a mandatory destination for our guests whenever they were in Himachal, it soon became their Home in Himachal.
With 3+ years of closely interacting with guests and understanding their needs, we started ShantiTrip Holidays to replicate the experience we were providing our guests at DOP to travelers across India. This meant removing the small stresses, hassles, and inconveniences that usually go unattended when you travel with conventional tour operators.
For us, travel is not just about beautiful destinations and hotel rooms; it is also about the parts that connect these experiences together. We look at travel as a whole, and pay attention to all and everything that makes up for a fulfilling trip. ShantiTrip Holidays is our attempt at providing travelers with a wholesome, end-to-end travel experience.
