- First online travel company to offer customized pilgrimage packages

New Delhi, April 20, 2007- Yatra Online Pvt. Ltd., India's second largest online travel company and the first to offer customized travel packages, gives spiritual tourism a new dimension with its announcement today of the much awaited special pilgrimage travel packages. These packages are in line with the company's philosophy of 'customer centric' packages.

The initial offering covers virtually the entire gamut of religion-cultural destinations. The itinerary encompasses packages such as the internationally famed Buddhist Kusinagar-Nalanda circuit, Muslim Pilgrimage Tour, Vaishno Devi Tour up North, Sikh Pilgrimage Tour for the Khalsa faithful, and South India Temples Tour across the Vindhyas, Buddhist Temples Tour, Char Dham Yatra and Hindu Pilgrimage Tour. The list would be expanded to incorporate other stops to cater to the spiritual quests of a variegated customer base.

"Spiritual tourism is big in India. But religious peregrinations have inevitably been stressed by travel scheduling and hotel booking woes", says Mr. Dhruv Shringi, Co-Founder and Director, Yatra.com. "Yatra has been flooded with enquiries for religious packages – ranging from 3 to 15 days – ever since its launch. Queries came in not only from the domestic travelers but also NRI’s who embark on spiritual journeys homeward. We at Yatra would like to offer a comprehensive solution to the travel needs of diverse pilgrims."

The special pilgrimage travel packages endeavor to allow the devotee to focus on his spiritual quest while Yatra.com handles all the paraphernalia of travel, right from ticketing to hotel arrangements. Special amenities include trained guides in both English and local languages as well as specially customized packages for senior citizens. For Yatra.com, summer 2007 is the promise of a summer of fulfillment for the faithful.
