Key Takeaways

- Always compare the hotel distance from the Haram, the airline, meals and Ziyarat – not just the price.

Every year thousands of families from Gorakhpur, Deoria, Kushinagar, Maharajganj, Basti and Siddharthnagar set out for Umrah and Hajj. The journey of a lifetime deserves a travel partner you can trust – yet many first-time pilgrims choose an agent on price alone and only discover the hotel distance, the airline or the missing meals after they land. This guide explains what the best Hajj and Umrah travel agent in Gorakhpur should offer, and the questions to ask before you pay any advance.
Look for a Gorakhpur agent with a physical office, several years of group departures, clear written inclusions (flights, visa, hotels, meals, transport, Ziyarat), hotels close to the Haram, and real reviews from pilgrims in your area. At Travel Point Hajj Umrah & Ziyarat we have served pilgrims from Gorakhpur since 2014.
1. A Real Office in Gorakhpur You Can Visit
Your Umrah involves your passport, your savings and your family's safety, so meet the people handling it. A trustworthy agent has a permanent office where you can sit down, see the package details, ask questions in Hindi or Urdu and come back with your documents. Our head office is at Zahidabad, near Makka Masjid, Gorakhnath, Gorakhpur – you can find directions and timings on our Contact page, and see our registrations on the Certificates & Approvals page.
2. Hotel Distance from the Haram – in Metres, in Writing
"Near Haram" can mean anything from a 3-minute walk to a 2 km bus ride. For elderly parents, the hotel distance decides how many prayers they can offer in Masjid al-Haram and Masjid-e-Nabawi. Ask for the hotel name and its distance in metres for both Makkah and Madinah. For example, our 17 Days Umrah Package from Lucknow lists the walking distance of both hotels on the package page.
3. Flights from Lucknow or Delhi – and the Road Journey
There are no direct Jeddah or Madinah flights from Gorakhpur, so Umrah groups usually fly from Lucknow or Delhi. A good agent tells you the airline and the departure city up front, and helps with the journey to the airport.
- Umrah packages from Lucknow – the closest international airport for Gorakhpur pilgrims (15, 16 and 17 days).
- Umrah packages from Delhi – more airlines and a 30 Days Umrah option.
- Umrah from Kolkata / Mumbai for families who live or work in those cities.
- Need a car to the airport? Our cab booking desk runs Gorakhpur to Lucknow Airport drops for Umrah groups.
4. What Is Included – and What Is Not
Two packages at the same price can be very different. Compare them line by line:
| Check this | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Return flights & airline | Baggage allowance, timing and connections differ by airline |
| Umrah visa & insurance | Should be part of the package, not an extra |
| Meals | Buffet Indian meals save time and money in the holy cities |
| Transport | Airport, Makkah – Madinah and Ziyarat by AC bus |
| Ziyarat | Makkah, Madinah and Badr Ziyarat with a guide |
| Laundry & Zamzam | Small things that make a long stay comfortable |
5. Guidance Before and During the Journey
The best Umrah travels in Gorakhpur do more than book tickets. They hold a training session before departure, send an experienced group leader with you and stay reachable 24x7. Before you go, read our step-by-step Umrah guide and the packing checklist. If you would like a personal Mutawwif in Makkah or Madinah, you can also hire an Umrah guide.
6. Reviews from Pilgrims in Your Area
Ask neighbours and relatives who travelled last season, and read reviews on Google. You can watch what our pilgrims say on our testimonials and video testimonials pages.
7. Hajj Needs Extra Care
Hajj is longer, costlier and more regulated than Umrah. Ask about the Mina tent category, Qurbani, the hotel in Aziziyah or near the Haram, and the total number of days. Our guide to Hajj package types explains the difference between shifting, non-shifting and short Hajj, and you can compare our Hajj packages online.
Questions to Ask Before You Pay
- What is the exact hotel name and distance in Makkah and Madinah?
- Which airline, which city, and what are the dates?
- Are meals, Ziyarat, laundry and Zamzam included?
- Who is the group leader and how do we reach him in Saudi Arabia?
- What is the cancellation and refund policy?
- Where do I pay? (Only use the accounts on the official Online Payment page.)
Everything Under One Roof
Besides Hajj and Umrah, families often need a passport, a visa, air tickets or a hotel for the same trip. We handle these at the same office – see all our travel services, including visa assistance and hotel booking. Planning a Nikah in the holy cities? Read about Umrah Nikah.
