Who We Are

Passionate About
the Himalayas

UTP (Uttarakhand Tour Packages) is a unit of Crocus Travel Company (P) Ltd. — an inbound travel company registered under the Indian Companies Act 1956. Born out of a deep love for Devbhoomi, we have spent over 12 years connecting travellers with Uttarakhand's most sacred and spectacular landscapes.

Our team of local experts, certified trek leaders and hospitality professionals — drawn from both the Garhwal and Kumaon divisions — covers all 13 districts of the state, from the Char Dham shrines and the five Panch Prayag confluences to the lake country of Nainital and the tiger forests of Jim Corbett, ensuring every journey through Devbhoomi is safe, authentic and deeply meaningful.

Today we are a family of 25+ hill-born experts across Dehradun, Haridwar and Delhi, and we have hosted travellers from 15+ countries — every itinerary still handcrafted, never templated.

The UTP Difference

Why Travel With Us

Designing the perfect itinerary is only half the journey. The other half is flawless execution on the ground — the right hotels, comfortable mountain transport, permits and darshan slots arranged, and a coordinator on call when the Himalayan weather has other plans.

We're not a faceless corporation where you keep dialling numbers to reach a human. Every trip is handled by a real local expert who knows the difference between Garhwal and Kumaon, the right season for each shrine, and which teashop has the best valley view. We're quick to respond, honest about pricing, and always just a call or WhatsApp away. We are in love with what we do — that's why we always deliver our best, on every single trip.
