A Travel Desk, Not A Call Centre

Kanak Tour Planner started in Gorakhpur with one simple idea: build every itinerary in-house.

Our Story

Built By Travellers Who Kept Getting Asked For Advice

We started as a small Gorakhpur outfit helping friends and family plan trips to Nepal and the hills. Over a decade later, the same principle holds — we plan every itinerary ourselves, work directly with verified hotels and drivers, and stay reachable throughout your trip instead of handing you off to a call centre.

Today we run India and Nepal packages for individuals, couples, families and groups, with a particular depth of experience in Himachal Pradesh, the Char Dham pilgrimage circuit, and cross-border Nepal trips.

What hasn't changed since our first Gorakhpur-to-Nepal booking is how we treat pricing and planning. We don't route enquiries through a call centre that reads from a script, and we don't quote a low headline price and add costs later. Every hotel and driver we work with has been personally checked by someone on our team, not sourced from a third-party listing we've never verified ourselves.

Who You'll Talk To

Our Travel Desk

Kanak Tour Planner is run by a small team based out of our Gorakhpur office, split between itinerary planning, on-ground coordination with hotels and drivers, and direct traveller support. That's a deliberately small structure — it means the person who answers your call has visibility into the same hotel and vehicle network we use for every booking.

We've kept this structure through more than a decade of growth because it's what makes the difference between a travel agency that sells packages and one that actually plans trips. Numbers don't tell the whole story of a travel agency, but they do reflect whether travellers who book once come back — and a meaningful share of our bookings each year come from returning travellers or their referrals.

Our Commitment

What You Can Expect From Us

We won't quote you a price we can't hold, and we won't send you to a hotel we haven't personally checked. That's a small promise, but it's the one that matters most when you're trusting a travel agency you found online to get the details right. If something changes on our end — a hotel becomes unavailable, a route needs adjusting — we call you before it becomes your problem to discover on arrival.

We also don't disappear once you've paid. Our travel desk stays reachable by phone for the full length of your trip — a flat tyre or hotel mix-up is a minor inconvenience when there's someone to call, and a real problem when there isn't.

Where We're Headed

What Stays The Same As We Grow

We've had opportunities to grow faster by reselling other operators' packages under our own brand, or by expanding into destinations we don't have real depth in. We've deliberately turned those down. Every new destination we add gets the same treatment as our first Nepal trips in 2013 — personal verification of hotels and drivers before we quote a single traveller, and enough local experience to answer specific questions confidently rather than reading from a brochure.

That's a slower way to grow a travel business, but it's the reason travellers who book with us once tend to call us again for their next trip.
