What-A-Trip By Sterling Holidays: Where One Journey Becomes Many Stories

Sometimes, the hardest part of travel isn’t choosing where to go — it’s choosing how much to fit in. You dream of the mountains and the misty valleys below, of the lakes and the winding forest roads that lead there. But somewhere between all the open tabs and spreadsheets, the joy of discovery begins to fade.

That’s exactly where What-A-Trip by Sterling Holidays steps in — a seamless new way to experience India’s most beautiful regions without the stress of planning every leg yourself.

Imagine this: you begin your Himalayan morning sipping tea above the clouds in Kufri, drive through pine forests to Chail by noon, and end the day in the charm of Shimla — all in one smooth, connected itinerary. Or picture a week weaving through the lush coffee trails of Coorg, the wild greens of Wayanad, and the tea slopes of Ooty — one journey, three moods, zero logistics.

This is what What-A-Trip delivers — multi-destination holidays that flow like a story, connecting Sterling’s 69 resorts across 53 destinations into curated regional circuits.

One Holiday, Many Chapters

Each What-A-Trip itinerary strings together Sterling’s resorts within a region — giving you the freedom to explore, pause, and play without juggling multiple bookings. The routes are ready-to-book and crafted for FITs, couples, families, and small groups who want variety, comfort, and that sense of discovery only road travel can offer.

You can choose from existing circuits — or request a personalised one built around your dates and pace.

Some examples from the growing collection include:

· Best of Himachal (4D/3N) – Kufri → Shimla → Chail — a cool-weather trilogy that captures the mountain rhythm perfectly.

· Best of Western Ghats (7D/6N) – Coorg → Wayanad → Ooty — from coffee plantations to tea gardens in one unforgettable drive.

· Best of Rajasthan (4D/3N) – Udaipur → Mount Abu — where lakeside leisure meets hill-station calm.

· Best of East Himalayas (5D/4N) – Gangtok → Darjeeling — monasteries, ropeways, and Kanchenjunga at sunrise.

· Wellness Escapes (3-14 Nights) – in Rishikesh, Alleppey, or Wayanad, where rejuvenation takes centre stage with meditation, spa therapies, and nourishing cuisine. (You can explore them all at whatatrip.sterlingholidays.com/our-packages)

The Beauty Of A Planned Adventure

What-A-Trip doesn’t box you into rigid tours — it curates freedom with structure.

Every package comes in two simple options:

· Stay Only: Includes accommodation with breakfast and dinner, Wi-Fi, applicable taxes, and a INR 1,000 voucher for a future Sterling holiday.

· Stay + Transport: Adds private, air-conditioned transfers between resorts — all inclusive of tolls and parking — so you can simply sit back and watch the landscape change.

Rates are transparent and presented per couple, per night. For instance, Best of Wayanad starts around INR 3,687 per person per night; Best of Goa at INR 3,625; Best of Rajasthan at INR 4,167; and Wellness Rishikesh from INR 15,630.

There are no hidden extras — inclusions and exclusions are clearly spelt out. Even the cancellation terms are uniform, so the only surprise you’ll encounter is the view outside your window.

Why Travellers Love It

The magic of What-A-Trip lies in its simplicity. You no longer need to research five hotels or coordinate between different transport vendors. The entire circuit is hosted within Sterling’s own network of resorts, ensuring consistent quality and a familiar sense of comfort wherever you go.

Every property carries its own charm — riverside cottages, mountain chalets, forest lodges — yet each one feels connected by a shared promise of care and local authenticity. Whether you’re chasing waterfalls in Wayanad, sipping masala tea in Ooty, or meditating on the banks of the Ganga, it all feels like one uninterrupted holiday.

And perhaps that’s the best part — you’re free to stop planning and start being present.
