Hi, My name is Rohit & I am looking for some thing which is not just a travel agent or travel booking portal. I want to explore those parts of the world & India that are not been yet explored by Tourists. For example: Arunachal Pradesh…or the small towns & villages in between two cities of South Africa. Please revert!
Hi Rohit, Many of the above sites offer holiday packages, and some of them are in remote not-so-touristy places that you may like. Check them out!
A good list, may I add one which helps with Air + Train travel:
90 Degrees:
http://www.90di.com/
@Piyush, thanks. I’ve added it to the list 😛
Piyush, that site was already posted. Secondly, it is amazing that India seems to have more travel booking sites than the USA now, and I am thrilled to see so.
that was indeed a really good list
Hi, Saket Exhaustive list. Thanks.
Just came across these sites with a good interface:
Zoomtra:

Mobissimo:

@Piyush, I’ve added the ones you’ve recommended. Thanks!
Indian flights vary a lot, for example, I looked up prices for 2 adults flight tickets Kolkata to Jaipur 5th Dec 2008, and here is the sample for your reference:
mmt: 16.9
yatra: 10.6
cleartrip: 10.6
ezeego1: 16.6
travelguru: 11.7
travelmartindia: 13.6
travelocity: 10.0 – cheapest so far
arzoo: 10.5
90di.com: 10.4
zoomtra: 21
mobissimo: 10.4
ixigo: 10.4
All prices in thousands of Rupees.
Ok, Arzoo sucks big time. Said 7,160.00, bill total is 7,923.00 and says card charged for 7,497.00. Yuck yuck yuck! Demoted and removed from this list.
Update: Called customer service twice, horrible experience!
