Is himachalholidays.co.uk a scam?

Our automated security review marked himachalholidays.co.uk as suspicious. Several warning signs were detected; it may still turn out legitimate, but you should verify it through independent channels before trusting it with money or credentials.

Is himachalholidays.co.uk safe to use?

himachalholidays.co.uk currently scores 55/100 on our trust scale. We found enough warning signals to recommend caution. Verify the site through independent channels before entering credentials or money.

Does himachalholidays.co.uk have a valid SSL certificate?

Yes. himachalholidays.co.uk presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Let's Encrypt · R13, expiring in 42 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.

How old is the himachalholidays.co.uk domain?

himachalholidays.co.uk is 3.8 years old, registered on 9/4/2022 through Heart Internet Limited t/a Heart Internet. Scam domains are often freshly registered — a site under 6 months old warrants extra caution.

No. All 92 antivirus engines in our malware network report himachalholidays.co.uk as clean.

Is himachalholidays.co.uk on any phishing or malware blacklists?

No. himachalholidays.co.uk is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.

Where is himachalholidays.co.uk hosted?

himachalholidays.co.uk resolves to an IP operated by ANS ACADEMY LIMITED in GB (usage type: Data Center/Web Hosting/Transit). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad, but unusual geography for a brand's claimed country is one of many signals we weigh.

How often is the himachalholidays.co.uk report updated?

This is a permanent record of the scan run on June 20, 2026. The verdict and evidence above reflect that scan and do not change on their own. If circumstances around himachalholidays.co.uk have changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan, which re-runs every check from scratch and publishes an updated report.

These checks passed — but they don't clear the site. A clean antivirus result, valid SSL, and a calm server only mean it isn't hosting malware; they say nothing about whether the business is real. This verdict is based on the site's conduct and content, not a malware detection.

Confidence

The most significant risk is that the company listed in the site's footer and privacy policy, Himachal Holidays Limited, was dissolved on 6 February 2024 according to official UK business records. Operating a commercial storefront under a defunct legal entity is a major red flag for fraud. Furthermore, the physical address provided on the website does not match the registered office address used by the company before it closed. We also observed that several tour listings are marked with 'Expired!' or 'On Sale!' labels in a way that suggests the site is not being actively maintained. Finally, there are no independent customer reviews or third-party verifications to confirm that any tours are actually being operated.

Full dossier

Analysis complete

Page Content

The website functions as a travel portal for Himachal Pradesh, India, listing various tours priced between £750 and £950. It features generic testimonials from names like 'John Smith' and 'Luaka Smith' which lack verifiable details. Several tour modules display conflicting 'On Sale!' and 'Expired!' badges simultaneously.

Infrastructure

The site is hosted on an IP with a clean reputation and uses a valid Let's Encrypt SSL certificate. However, the page loads resources from several unrelated external domains, which is unusual for a dedicated travel agency site. There is no physical office address listed in the main contact sections, only a Southampton address mentioned in the footer.

Domain History

The domain was registered in September 2022, making it nearly four years old. While age usually suggests stability, the fact that the business entity was dissolved in 2024 while the site remains active suggests the domain may be abandoned or repurposed for deceptive data collection.

Web Reputation

Our analysis found no mentions of this site on major consumer review platforms or social media. The lack of a digital footprint for a travel agency that has existed for years is highly atypical. The primary trust signal is undermined by the legal dissolution of the parent company.

Risk Factors

The associated UK business entity (HIMACHAL HOLIDAYS LIMITED) was legally dissolved in February 2024.
The physical address on the site (Southampton) contradicts the official registered office (London).
No independent customer reviews or third-party ratings exist for this business.
The website contains 'Expired!' and 'On Sale!' tags on the same items, indicating poor maintenance.
The site footer references a company that no longer exists legally.
Generic testimonials and stock-like imagery are used throughout the tour listings.

Positive Signals

The domain has been registered for over three years.
Our antivirus network found no malware or phishing signatures on the page.
The site uses a valid SSL certificate for encrypted connections.

AI Recommendation

Do not book travel or provide payment information on this site. The business is legally dissolved and there is no evidence of successful tour operations.

Research summary

Narrative write-up from our AI analyst, grounded on the facts above

Our research into himachalholidays.co.uk revealed that the site is tied to HIMACHAL HOLIDAYS LIMITED (Company No. 14335943), which was incorporated in September 2022 but officially dissolved in February 2024. We found no record of this business on independent review aggregators or travel forums. The absence of any customer feedback for a three-year-old travel site, combined with its defunct legal status, suggests it is not a reliable service provider.
