About Me

Alaska
Alaska

A land of towering glaciers, rugged mountains, and abundant wildlife, Alaska travel offers breathtaking natural wonders and unforgettable outdoor experiences. Whether you’re exploring Denali National Park, witnessing the Northern Lights in Alaska, or cruising through glacier-carved fjords, an Alaska vacation is perfect for nature lovers and adventure seekers alike.

5 Best Places to Visit in Alaska

  • Denali National Park: Home to North America’s tallest peak, Denali National Park is a must-visit for stunning landscapes and incredible wildlife. Take a Denali National Park tour to see grizzly bears, moose, caribou, and more.
  • Glacier Bay National Park: A highlight of any Alaska cruise, Glacier Bay National Park features breathtaking tidewater glaciers, towering ice formations, and incredible marine life, including whales and sea lions.
  • Anchorage: Alaska’s largest city, Anchorage, is the perfect base for exploring nearby national parks, hiking trails, and wildlife viewing. Visit the Alaska Native Heritage Center to learn about the state's rich indigenous cultures.
  • Fairbanks: For a magical winter experience, head to Fairbanks, one of the best places to see the Northern Lights in Alaska. In summer, enjoy endless daylight and explore the Arctic Circle.
  • Kenai Fjords National Park: A paradise for outdoor enthusiasts, Kenai Fjords National Park offers breathtaking glaciers, fjords, and rich marine wildlife. Take a boat tour to spot orcas, puffins, and sea otters.

Best Time to Visit Alaska

The best time to visit Alaska depends on your interests. Summer (June to August) is ideal for long daylight hours, wildlife viewing, and outdoor activities like hiking and fishing. If you want to see the Northern Lights, visit during winter (September to March) when the nights are long and dark. Shoulder seasons like May and September offer fewer crowds and stunning fall colors or spring wildlife migrations.

Top Things to Do in Alaska

  • Go on an Alaska Cruise – Explore stunning coastal landscapes, glaciers, and wildlife.
  • Experience the Northern Lights – Head to Fairbanks or remote lodges for the best aurora borealis views.
  • Take a Dog Sledding Tour – Try this iconic Alaskan adventure on a glacier or in the backcountry.
  • Visit an Ice Cave – Explore the mesmerizing blue ice caves of Mendenhall Glacier.
  • Go Whale Watching – Spot humpback and orca whales in Juneau, Seward, or the Inside Passage.

Ireland The Emerald Isle A Traveler's Paradise
Reviewed By Jane S. - Dallas, Texas | Traveled to Ireland ~ Europe
I had a great experience working with Ahmer Khan as our travel agent. He was very helpful in organizing our family tourist visit to Ireland. He was always quick to respond to any questions or concerns that we had and made sure that our trip went smoothly. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a travel agent.
Ahmer Khan responded
"Thank you Jane, I'm glad to hear that your family had a great time in Ireland. It's always my goal to make sure all of our clients have the best possible experience when they travel with us and it sounds like we did just that! I'll be in touch soon about booking another trip for you or someone else on your team."
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Best adventure and most exciting trip Ive been on!
Reviewed By Jacob G - Austin, TX | Traveled to Costa Rica ~ Central America
Of all the vacations and adventures I've been on, none compared to this one. And this was all thanks to Ahmer and his compassion and commitment to making my trip so unique. I was very impressed by the locations that he chose. We made drives through places I have only read about. From the ocean views at the places we stayed nestled in remote rain forests to the deep jungle we explored, everything was not only exciting, but of envy to my friends and family. Every picture we took was something I had barely experienced prior. For me the thing that stood out was the feeling we had backpacking into the Ova Peninsula. I had never seen so much wildlife outside of a documentary. I am looking forward to our next engagement with Ahmer. I can not wait to see what he has planned for us in the future.
Ahmer Khan responded
"Hi Jacob, Thank you for your wonderful feedback. The Osa Peninsula in Costa Rica is certainly a favorite and feels almost like another world. The Corcovado National Park is the gem of the peninsula and we could have easily spent another week there hiking through the lush vegetation and experiencing the biodiversity of this jungle. Hope you get more opportunities to travel to amazing places. Cheers, The Hourglass Team"
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

9 days in Paris and Nice
Reviewed By TalhaK - San Jose, CA | Traveled to France ~ Europe
Ahmer helped plan and book my first family vacation in France. I was travelling to France on a business trip and decided to take a vacation afterwards. Ahmer was extremely approachable, knowledgable and friendly, and went out of his way to customize the trip for us. My family and I were flying in to Paris and returning from Nice. He planned and booked the air ticket and local tours for us. He even recommended against booking certain tours and do the activity on our own instead (to save time and money). He has travelled extensively throughout his life with and without his family - this sets him apart from other travel agents as he actually knows the destination thoroughly. I would definitely book my future trips with him.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

An unforgettable trip to Egypt 2023
Reviewed By Linda - Boston, MA | Traveled to Cairo ~ Egypt ~ Africa
Ahmer Khan was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, responsive, and attentive to details as we worked on planning a 10-day trip to Egypt for our group of friends. I have been to Egypt before several times and I knew in my initial conversation with Ahmer that he had an in-depth knowledge of Egypt that would make our trip seamless. While on the trip, I had to contact Ahmer a couple of times for questions and he responded immediately. This helped us feel supported even though we were so far away. Planning the trip with Ahmer also made the process easy and fun and I felt like I could talk to him for hours about our trip. From this point forward, I will likely never plan a major trip without Ahmer's assistance. It made the world of difference for myself and my friends and we returned with some of the most epic memories of lives, and we have Ahmer to thank for that!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

A trip to remember
Reviewed By Kashif - Sacramento, CA | Traveled to French Polynesia ~ South Pacific
We were on the fence about this trip and decided to go after talking with Ahmer. He helped a lot in planning it and made everything a breeze. Buying plane tickets, car rental, hotel reservations, things to do, you name it; Ahmer helped with all of them. We are so glad that we picked Ahmer because it was a trip to remember!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
