About us

Meet Markandey Holidays

Markandey Holidays is a Himachal Pradesh-based travel agency offering mountain holiday packages and personalised itinerary planning. Journeys Beyond Ordinary is how we think about the hills: not a checklist of viewpoints, but a route that fits your days, your people and your pace.

We plan trips across Himachal — Shimla and Manali, the quieter valleys of Jibhi and Tirthan, Kasol and the Parvati Valley, Kinnaur and Chitkul, Lahaul beyond the Atal Tunnel, and the seasonal high desert of Spiti. Every journey begins with a conversation, and every arrangement is confirmed with you in writing before you travel.

Founder · The Heart of Himachal

Meet Surya

Born in the heart of Himachal, Surya carries the mountains not just in his roots, but in his spirit. With years of experience in the world of travel, he understands every road, every valley, and every story these hills hold. Through Markandey Holidays, he turns his love for the mountains into unforgettable journeys for others.

Co-Founder · The Vision Behind the Journey

Meet Harshit Goyal

Coming from Jaipur with the mind of an entrepreneur and the heart of an explorer, Harshit Goyal brings vision, energy, and business excellence to Markandey Holidays. A journey to Himachal introduced him to Surya, but it was friendship, shared dreams, and unforgettable memories that built the real connection. From that meeting began a partnership inspired by travel, trust, and a desire to create something meaningful together.

Two Friends. One Big Dream.

It Started With a Trip. It Became a Dream.

One knew the mountains like home. The other arrived as a traveller and found something more — a lifelong friendship. Together, Surya and Harshit founded Markandey Holidays with one simple belief: the best journeys aren't just about the places you visit, but the people, laughter and memories you carry home.
