What is included is written down. So is what is not. The difference between the tiers is the hotel, the meals and the transport, never the rites or the ziyarat. If neither fits, we build the trip around your dates instead. Starting rates are approximate and move with the season and availability.

Built around your group: the cities, the nights, the hotel and the pace are all yours to set.
Best for masjid groups, large families, and anyone whose dates will not fit a fixed tier.
Hajj
The Hajj rate depends on the quota, the airfare and your category at Mina, so we will not print a single number here and give you the wrong idea.
Advance booking has started for Hajj 2027 and seats are limited. Government quota runs to its own timeline; private quota is more flexible but costs more. Call us and we will explain both against your family’s situation.

Before you fly
The allowance is the airline's, not ours, and it is the thing most often got wrong on the morning of the flight.
Baggage
Read this before you pack. The 30 kg is per head, not per family. Two bags of 15 kg is the split the airline expects; one heavy bag gets refused or charged even when the total is under the limit.
Browse by need
The right package usually follows from the group, not from the price tier.
Rooms kept together, a slower ritual pace, and hotels you can walk back to with children.

Zara Hajj & Umrah Services started in Shankarpura, Udupi in 2026, and we now look after pilgrims from across Karnataka: Mangalore, Kundapura, Bhatkal, Bengaluru and the coastal towns in between. Our aim is simple: that your journey is easy, that it is peaceful, and that it follows the sunnah.
Visa, tickets, hotels, ziyarat, training. All of it is our responsibility, so that yours is only your worship.
We treat every pilgrim who travels with us as a guest in our own home.

This space is held for real reviews from real pilgrims. Once they come in, they go here with the name attached, exactly as written.
Meanwhile, ask us for the number of someone who travelled on the same package. We will ask their permission and pass it on.

Yes. A tourist eVisa permits Umrah outside the Hajj season, and you book the permit itself through Nusuk once you are in the country. A dedicated Umrah visa is issued through licensed operators and is usually the better route if you are travelling in a group. Confirm the current position on Nusuk before you book flights. This rule has changed more than once in recent years.
The requirement was relaxed and women may now travel for Umrah without a mahram, including in organised groups. Scholarly opinion on whether this is permissible differs from what Saudi regulations allow, so decide this with your own scholar rather than from a website.
The rituals themselves take four to six hours at a moderate pace, longer in Ramadan, and considerably longer if you are with children or an elderly parent. Most people build a trip of seven to fourteen nights around it, split between Makkah and Madinah.
Ordinary months: six to eight weeks is comfortable. School holidays: three months. Ramadan, and particularly the last ten nights: five to six months, and hotels near the Haram sell out earlier than that.
Yes, a quadrivalent ACWY certificate is an entry requirement, and it must be administered at least ten days before you arrive. Depending on your country of origin, polio vaccination may also be required. Check the requirement for your passport before you book anything.
Mangalore, Bangalore, Mumbai and Dubai. Most of our groups leave from Mangalore, which is nearest the office and to the coastal towns. You join the group at the airport, so getting there is your own arrangement. If none of the four suits you, ask anyway and we will tell you honestly whether the connection is worth it.
Yes, advance booking has started for Hajj 2027. Hajj is booked more than a year ahead and both quotas fill from the early registrations, so registering now is what secures a place rather than deciding later. Government quota runs to the Haj Committee's own timeline; private quota is more flexible and costs more. Call the office and we will explain both against your situation.
Yes, and the Haram is set up for it. Wheelchairs and electric carts are available to hire, the upper floors of the mataf and the Sa'i corridor are step-free, and dedicated lanes exist on both. Assisted tawaf can be arranged. Plan the route in advance and avoid peak prayer times entirely.
