About Raizada World Holidays
Explore · Travel · Discover — the three words we have been working to earn since 2012.
A travel desk, not a booking engine
Raizada World Holidays started in a single room in Jankipuram, Lucknow with one telephone line and a simple conviction: most people do not want to assemble a holiday from twelve browser tabs. They want someone who has been there to tell them what is worth the money.
Fourteen years later we still work that way. Every itinerary on this site was built by a consultant who has walked the route, stayed in the hotels and argued with the transport operator about pick-up times. When something goes wrong at 2am in a city you have never been to, you get a person on the phone, not a ticket number.
We publish our prices with taxes included, list what is not covered as plainly as what is, and only show reviews from travellers who actually completed the trip. None of that is remarkable. It is simply what we would want if we were the ones booking.
Raizada World Holidays in numbers
Four promises we hold ourselves to
Not slogans — these are the things travellers tell us made the difference.
The price is the price
Taxes, transfers and entry fees are in the number you see. If something is not included, it is listed as an exclusion before you pay, not discovered at the airport.
One consultant, start to finish
The person who plans your trip is the person who answers when you call from it. No handovers, no repeating yourself to a new agent.
Only verified reviews
A review can only be written by someone whose booking with us is marked completed. We do not buy testimonials and we do not delete the unflattering ones.
Support that answers
A real phone number and a WhatsApp line staffed for the whole time you are away, across every time zone we send people to.
What travellers say
We were quoted three times for the Maldives and RWH were the only ones who included the speedboat transfer in the price instead of adding it later. The villa was exactly what was shown, the sandbank picnic was the best hour of the trip, and someone answered our WhatsApp at 11pm the night our flight moved.

Ten days, four countries, two elderly parents and a nine-year-old — I expected chaos. The trains were all pre-booked, the Vatican tickets meant we walked past a two-hour queue, and there was an Indian dinner every night my mother could actually eat. Worth every rupee of the planning fee.

The houseboat was private, not shared with strangers as another operator had tried to sell us, and the cook made karimeen fresh on board. Munnar in the mist was unreal. My only complaint is that five days was not enough.

Very well organised — the desert safari and the Burj Khalifa sunset slot were both spot on, and the visa came through in three days. The hotel in Deira was a bit far from the newer parts of the city, which is my only note. I would book with them again.

The floating breakfast photograph is now our living room wall. What actually made it though was the driver, Wayan, who reorganised an entire day when it rained and took us to a waterfall instead. RWH picked well.

Took my parents in April for the tulip garden. The houseboat on Dal Lake was clean and warm, the driver knew the valley properly, and when the Sonamarg road looked doubtful he called ahead and rearranged the day rather than wasting four hours. That is experience you cannot book online.
