About Pick My Holidays
We are not a travel agency — we are Kodaikanal. Born in these hills, raised by these forests, and dedicated to sharing the authentic soul of this extraordinary place with every traveler who arrives.
Kodaikanal Is Our Home
Pick My Holidays was founded in 2010 by a group of Kodaikanal natives who saw how many visitors were missing the true depth of this extraordinary hill station — stuck on crowded tourist circuits, dealing with unreliable operators, and leaving without having touched the real Kodaikanal at all.
Our founders — all born and educated in Kodaikanal — decided to build something different: a travel service with genuine local knowledge, transparent pricing, and a personal commitment to every guest's experience.
Today, we have welcomed over 5,000 travelers from across India and abroad, maintained a near-perfect satisfaction rating, and built long-term relationships with families who return to Kodaikanal with us year after year.
Our Values
Authenticity
We never show you the tourist version of Kodaikanal. We show you the real one — the one our families have lived in for generations.
Trust
Transparent pricing, honest itineraries and no hidden costs. What we quote is what you pay. Always.
Responsibility
We operate with deep respect for Kodaikanal's fragile ecosystems. All our safaris follow forest department guidelines and we actively support local conservation efforts.
Reliability
2-hour booking confirmation, on-time pickup and a real human available on call throughout your trip — not an automated system or a chatbot.
Local Knowledge
Fifteen years of operating in these hills has given us access to experiences, routes and spots that no outsider can replicate.
Genuine Care
For us, every booking is personal. We remember our guests, celebrate their milestones and take real pride in being part of their most cherished memories.
