From being batch-mates to flat-mates to partners in business, Sunil Singh Rana and Harish Rawat started their journey in travel and tourism with their class of MBA Tourism, 2003-05 batch in Srinagar Garhwal, Uttarakhand. Both hailing from the state capital of Uttarakhand – Dehradun, are very passionate about the travel industry and thus, their common ideology brought them together at the entrepreneurship level. But before entering into the business undertaking, they both set out on their individual journey; Harish received his career call from Travelscope India Pvt. Ltd., where he worked for the next 8 years, whereas Sunil joined the premier Destination Management Company – Kuoni, and in the next 5 years, got opportunities to work with LPTI and Yatra.com as well.

Anyone moving from a place like Uttarakhand to a metropolitan city will understand the hardship that goes into making the big switch, especially when your childhood and most of your years have been nurtured amidst the nature and low rush lifestyle, which this Himalayan State offers. And likewise, our two veterans sacrificed their traditional and wholesome way of life, learned their way out within the highly competitive environment of Delhi. They made this big shift with the only compensation of getting the required exposure and great opportunities that they received career-wise.

With a mind trained around the nitty-gritty of the travel business and a heart full of emotions for the home state, Sunil quit his job in 2010 and decided to come back to start working on the inception of a DMC, focused to utilize the potential of the state of Uttarakhand. Whereas in 2012, Harish left his job and came back to become a co-director with Sunil in his project. Thus, Three Sixty Holidays Pvt. Ltd. was established, with two individuals and their overall experience that they pulled from metropolitan cities back to the Himalayas.

When it comes to Indian tourism, most of the hot spots have made it to the list of been there done that; the list that has reached its saturation point. But still, there is a tourism potential of the few remaining (highly underrated) places like in the state of Uttarakhand that is still unexplored and can attract the majority of tourists. This fact alone shapes our vision of providing sustainable as well as responsible tourism and guides our mission of working towards becoming an organized and reliable Destination Management Company of Uttarakhand.
