Cleartrip, a Flipkart company and one of India’s leading online travel platforms, today announced its entry into the Holiday Packages category. This brings together flights, hotels, activities and transfers in a single, expert-curated itinerary that travellers can customise to suit their preferences.

The launch is part of Cleartrip’s broader growth strategy to evolve into a full-stack, multimodal travel platform, expanding beyond individual travel bookings to offer travellers a more connected way to plan and experience their journeys.

Most holiday packages hand you a plan and ask you to fit into it. Cleartrip Holiday Packages work the other way. Travellers start with an expert-curated itinerary and shape it around their own needs, swapping hotels, adjusting activities, changing flights, without losing the structure that makes a package worth booking in the first place.

Gaurav Patwari, Chief Business Officer - Air, said, “Holiday planning in India has always been an either-or: either you get a rigid package, or you spend hours building it yourself. We think there's a better way. Expert-built, traveller-controlled, and with someone available when you need them. That's what we've launched across all the popular destinations today, and it changes how Indian travellers will plan their next trip.”

The offering also brings human assistance into the holiday planning experience. Travellers can speak to an expert for guidance while planning their trip, helping them navigate destination choices, itineraries and the different elements that go into putting a holiday together. Once the trip is planned, travellers have access to a live itinerary with details such as driver information, vouchers and day plans, alongside 24×7 support during their journey.

Cleartrip's scale as one of India's leading travel platforms, and its position within the Flipkart Group, has enabled it to negotiate pricing and secure inventory with suppliers across flights, hotels and experience providers that individual travellers simply cannot access on their own, on top of an unmatched delivery experience. That value is passed on directly through Holiday Packages, in the price, curation, and flexibility built into every itinerary. And for travellers who still want that extra assurance, Cleartrip's Price Beat Offer* is simple: find the same itinerary cheaper elsewhere, and Cleartrip will beat it.
