Dear friends,
Welcome to sojourning with the Best Domestic Tour Operator in India. We are proud
recipients of this title and award from Abacus TAFI TravelBiz Monitor Award in 2009.
The completion of 250 years of Cox and Kings is a major milestone for us and
we invite you to partake in this celebration. We present an extensive range of
holidays – be it traversing into the mountains in their pristine glory, trekking
sites and reliving history, relaxing on palm fringed beaches, spending quality time
in leisure along the back waters or allowing the mind to recreate the past glories
of our rich heritage within the luxurious comfort afforded in palace hotels and
resorts. Now is the time to commence packing your traveling gear and joining us in
our celebration.

For those who want to break free from their otherwise mundane
life routine, we offer a series of adventure holidays: short
weekend stimulation or longer period of adventurous activity.
The Himalayan ranges intimidate and enthrall you into a state
of stunned silence. These majestic mountains have quite a few
spectacular pursuits to offer an adventurer, be it mountaineering,
rock climbing, trekking or river rafting.
Breathe in nature in the raw on a camel safari or in a jungle.
Paragliding exudes an inexplicable sense of thrill for those who
reach out to experience new heights. Gliding down a ski slope,
water rafting down cascading streams pushes the adrenalin levels
of people who dare. Windsurfing, sailing, scuba diving bring in a
sense of fulfillment for water babies.
Holiday camps help you to connect and appreciate the bounty
of nature.
There is always something for everyone - those who dare, the
nature lovers, the scenic seekers and the bold adventurers.

PILGRIM
)YPKNPUN
:WPYP[\HS*OHZT
India since ancient times has earned the celebrated linkage with
salvation and rebirth, astrology and holistic healing sought in
the temples or monasteries, where saints and sages abound in
the corridors of these hallowed places. The walls of these holy
places reverberate with the tinkling sounds of the bells and the
resonant chants fill the air……
Cox and Kings offers an assortment of packages suited to
rejuvenate mental and spiritual faculties of a pilgrim.
Whatever your beliefs, creed, class or caste, our pilgrim tours
cut across all barriers.
Come participate in our tours across the length and breadth
of India - Vaishnodevi, Haridwar, Rishikesh or Char Dham in
the North, the Navgraha temples or Rameshwaram, Tirupati or
Puttaparthi in the South, the temples of Puri in the East, the
Dilwara temples or the temples in Palitana and the renowned
resting seat of Shri Sai Baba in Shirdi in the West. An aura
of inner peace and calmness will surely engulf you on our
pilgrim tours.
