About us

Seventeen years of first-hand travel

Named for the evening star — the one travellers have navigated by for centuries — because that's the job: point you somewhere worth going, and make sure you get there.

Our story

From two desks to a full-service operator

Venus Holidays began in 2009 as a two-desk office booking rail tickets and weekend Lonavala trips. Today we're a full-service tour operator — but we still plan every itinerary the same way: someone from our team has been there, recently, and liked it enough to recommend it.

We're not an aggregator and we don't resell third-party fixed itineraries. Our destination specialists build every package around your dates, budget, and pace — not the other way around.

Our motto is on the door: Learn to Travel · Travel to Learn. It's why half our work is holidays — and the other half is study tours, industrial visits and adventure camps that take students and teams somewhere worth learning from.
