Vibrant nights, spice markets, the Sahara Desert, and delicious cuisine like couscous and mint tea. What country are we talking about? That’s right - Morocco! 🇲🇦

Mona and her family returned from an incredible 9-day adventure to Morocco! Here’s what they had to say:

“Ruchi made our trip to Morocco unforgettable. Her meticulous planning ensured we saw and did so much more than we expected. Even with my 76-year-old mother along, Ruchi’s fantastic arrangements made the trip enjoyable for everyone. A special touch like arranging a birthday cake for my husband in the Sahara Desert was simply amazing. The itinerary was organized yet flexible, allowing us to fully enjoy the places we loved. There’s no way we could have set up this trip without Harnal Travel!”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thank you for the kind words, Mona! 👏🏽

If you’re ready for your own incredible Moroccan adventure, let’s start planning! ✈️🥂

There’s new faces around here and I felt like I was long overdue for an intro post, so here it goes!

If you’re new to my page, Hi! I’m Ruchi Harnal. 💁🏽‍♀️

✈️ Five years ago, I turned my love for wanderlust into my passion as a luxury Travel Advisor - now I get to help people turn their vacation dreams into reality 🗺️
✈️ I live in the nation’s capital with my husband, son and our Golden Doodle, Khush 👨🏽👩🏽👦🏽🐕
✈️ I have over 160 countries stamped in my passport, but if I could choose my favorite destination, it would be somewhere with both beach and mountains 🏞️

By exploring the world first-hand, I’m able to make connections with valued partners and hotels and sharing my genuine experiences to help get you the most out of your travels.

I can’t wait to explore with you! Thanks for following along. 💌

Everyone must check off an African Safari off their bucket list, but to be able to bring your multi-generational family on one has to be the icing on top! 🌍🧳✨

Lauren and her family had the opportunity to celebrate a huge milestone birthday in such a special way. Their journey was filled with awe-inspiring moments - from spotting majestic lions in their natural habitat to marveling at breathtaking sunsets over the savannah. 🦁🌅

It’s moments like these that remind us why we’re passionate about crafting unforgettable travel experiences. 🫶🏽

“From the start, we knew we needed a travel agent to help us plan a trip to Africa for my mom’s 80th Birthday. I asked around and one name kept coming up as the very best - Ruchi Harnal of Harnal Travel. Ruchi’s eye to detail, connection to local contacts and first-hand knowledge of every site, hotel and lodge made this a trip to remember. All eight of us in our multigenerational group agreed that the trip exceeded our expectations. We look forward to having Harnal Travel plan our next trip!”

📸 Thank you, Lauren, for sharing your amazing feedback. We loved making this trip one of a kind! ✈️💫

There’s nothing quite like the excitement of curating a perfect getaway, and this trip to Colombia was no exception. 👏🏽 From the vibrant cities to the lush landscapes, we made sure that every detail was planned with passion and care. It fills us with pride to know our hard work translates into unforgettable experiences for our clients. ✈️🌎✨

💌 Here’s a heartwarming review from our recent travelers:

“We had a great trip to Colombia thanks to Harnal travel! They found great spots for us to stay, and excellent local guides who helped us get a flavor for the local perspective and experiences. And the hotels were all lovely. The team was patient with our questions and last minute requests, and very helpful when little questions and issues came up in the moment. I would highly recommend the Harnal travel team!”

A huge thank you Elizabeth for the feedback! We’re so glad that you loved your journey! 🫶🏽

Turns out, the travel bug is hereditary! 🧳🧬

My father, a walking atlas 🗺️ who’s practically stamped his passport with almost every country, 🌏 is the one who sparked my wanderlust. ✨ Growing up, those family trips were incredible gifts, and now I get to create the same memories with my son.

Multi-generational adventures are rare treats, but when they happen, the laughter and stories are endless. Happy Father’s Day to the best dad (+ travel buddy) I could ask for! 👴🏽🫶🏽

If there’s one way to kick off summer break, it’s with a spectacular bestie trip to Greece. When my client asked me to help organize a trip to Greece, it was a no-brainer as Greece is one of my favorite destinations to visit.☺️

“Ruchi planned such amazing hotels for my friend and I in Greece. We had the most amazing time! We absolutely loved the Mykonos hotel in particular. The service was amazing and views were magical! We loved everything. Thanks again! 🇬🇷🤍”

Thank you for the kind words, Sophie! Have a great summer ahead! 🥰

The secret to a stress-free vacation? 🤔 Asking the right questions upfront! 🗣️ This applies whether you partner with Harnal Travel (our expertise is at your service!), or in general.

Here are some key questions to get you started:

👩🏽‍💻 Do you charge a fee for your services?

Not all Travel Advisors may charge a fee, but we charge a non-refundable planning fee for access to our expert knowledge, partnerships, and special perks. *This is the first question you should ask before you start the planning process!

🗺️ What do your services provide?

At Harnal Travel, we combine detailed planning with your valuable input and feedback for a truly personalized experience. Plus, we work with our exclusive network of destination partners to offer the best VALUE for your travel budget. You get exclusive access to quality partners who ensure an amazing experience, available only through travel advisors like us.

✈️ I don't know where I want to travel to. Can you help me decide?

Absolutely! To kick off the planning process smoothly, it's helpful to have a loose direction in mind. While specifics aren't essential at this stage, the more you can share about your dream getaway, the better! For example, you imagine a picture-perfect beach escape with your family of five over Christmas break or have a ski chalet vacation in mind.

Have any questions about travel planning? We are here for you! 📲✨

When my client asked me to plan her milestone birthday, I knew it had to be epic!💥 And epic it was as she set sail with her best girlfriends on a private charter through the Bahamas. 🛥️🌅

"Ruchi and her team worked tirelessly to make a dream trip come true for me! She poured her heart into the itinerary and helping me find all the perfect details while respecting my budget. I feel so grateful for Ruchi and will never forget the memories made on this most special trip!"

Thank you for your kind words, Mrs. S! I can't wait to plan your next trip! 🥂✨

SWIPE ➡️ to see more from my ocean oasis on

Explora's floating luxury resort is an absolute masterpiece! ⚓️ From the entry-level suites with  stunning terraces to the impeccable cruise experience, they've truly outdone themselves!🌟

My walk-in closet with makeup vanity that was perfectly fitted with Dyson brand hairdryer drawer was a game-changer! 💄 The bed was total bliss and the nightly turn-down service was pure indulgence. What was the most magical was being able to open my sliding door to the ocean's serenade. 🌊

As for the dining experience? You can count on carefully sourced wine and Michelin-star delights! One of my favorite restaurants was Sakura, a taste of Pan-Asian cuisine that is both authentic and energizing. I highly recommend the wagyu beef. It was all truly chef's kiss. 🍽️ 

Last but certainly not least, you must visit the wellness spa. After indulging in a body treatment and facial, I relaxed in the salt room, sauna, steam room, and hot tub, then left with a fresh blow dry, ready for dinner! 💆🏽‍♀️

Every moment of this cruise experience was a dream come true. 💫 If you want to learn more, just drop me a DM! 📲

Did you end up becoming what you wanted to be growing up? 💭

For as long as I can remember, my childhood dream was to become an Architect. I ended up not getting into an architecture school, so that led me to pursue interior architecture. 🏰

This journey eventually led me to design incredible spaces like country clubs, cruise ships, high rises, and Diplomat residences worldwide. 🌍

After a break to focus on family, the desire for something new arose. 🌟 Having explored 160+ countries, I decided to blend my love for travel with work, venturing into curating experiences for others. ✈️

Today, on my birthday, I'm filled with gratitude for finding a profession that ignites my passion. 🎉 It brings me immense joy to play a small part in making others' travel dreams come true. 💫

Happy Friday! We're still staying cozy this weekend, but I'm preparing for another fun trip next week! I can't wait to show you, but first - let's start the weekend off with a little fun game of two truths and a lie. 🤭

Find the lie...
1. I hiked the base camp of Mount Everest. 🏔️
2. I frequently ski Double Black Diamonds. ⛷️
3. I used to be an Interior Architect. 🪞

Which one is the fib? Let me know in comments. I'll post the correct answer in stories on Sunday! ✨

To my friends and family, clients, colleagues, and industry partners - I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for all of you! 🫶🏽

2023 has been a record breaking year for Harnal Travel because of your support. We helped our clients plan their dream vacations to 5 different continents, 30+ countries, and 9 US states! ✈️

When I first started this business, I had no idea how personally rewarding it will be. I simply had the passion to help others plan their dream vacation (still do), but to see my business expand all across the world is so fulfilling. I'm looking forward to continue expanding this business in 2024. I can't wait to help current clients and meet new ones! 👩🏽‍💻✨

The holidays are always a wonderful time to gather with family and friends, may it be at your dream destination or cozy at home. I'm thankful to be able to spend it with my husband and son in Saint Lucia (swipe for a Santa surprise!). 🏝️

For those away from their friends and families, or whom need a little ✨extra cheer✨ this year, I'm sending you lots of love and light during this season.

Wherever you are this time of year, I'm sending the warmest wishes to you - my family, friends, clients, colleagues, hoteliers, and suppliers! Those who make Harnal Travel possible. 💛

Happy Holidays, from my family to yours. 🫶🏽

If there’s one way to make me smile this holiday season, it’s with feedback like this from the absolute best clients on their dream honeymoon to Portugal and Spain. 🥰

"My wife and I can't recommend Harnal Travel enough! Hands down, this was the best trip we've ever been on in our lives. From the tours, to the restaurants, to the travel arrangements - everything flowed seamlessly. We were hesitant to use a Travel Agency at first, but after interviewing several, we felt Harnal Travel would offer the most unique experience, and they did not disappoint! We will 100% be using them in the future and highly recommend you do too!"

Thank you for the kind words, Adam & Kelly! Happy Holidays to me too, indeed. 🎁

Carefully crafting unforgettable trips is our name. 💛

Mr. P initially reached out to us to plan a trip to Iceland. However, during our planning process, they received the distressing news of a medical emergency of his wife, Mrs. S, which prompted us to put the trip on hold.

Following the commencement of her treatments, Mr. P returned to us with a specific request for a cruise to enjoy the fall colors. We tailored the travel plans to accommodate their tight schedule in between treatments, ensuring that the tours and activities were adjustable to the level of mobility Mrs. S could manage comfortably.

We went the extra mile by arranging pre- and post-cruise travel, further enhancing their travel experience and providing them with a well-rounded and memorable journey.

One of the reasons I derive immense satisfaction from planning vacations for my clients is the opportunity to bring happiness and support when it is most needed. 💛

Victoria Falls is neither the widest nor highest waterfall in the world, but it's the world's largest sheet of falling water, which solidifies this classification. It is twice the height of North America's Niagara Falls, and is only rivalled by Iguazu Falls in South America.
