About AYO Vacation
Our Humble Beginning
The foundation of Ayo Vacation lies in the inspiring journey of our founder, Mr. Vijay Soni.
He began his career as a driver, personally transporting tourists who visited the iconic White Rann of Kutch. Under the name Hariom Tours and Travels, he didn’t just drive vehicles — he built relationships, understood traveler behavior, learned service expectations, and gained real ground-level knowledge of tourism operations.
This hands-on experience became the backbone of everything we built later.
The Birth of StayGuru Hotels & Resorts
With years of understanding tourist requirements, Mr. Vijay Soni took a major step by acquiring Usha Residency Hotel in the center of Bhuj city. This marked the transition from transportation services to full-scale hospitality operations.
Soon after, the brand StayGuru Hotels & Resorts was established — with a clear vision:
To provide comfortable, reliable, and quality stays across Kutch with professional management and standardized service.
Today, StayGuru operates 13+ properties across multiple locations:

Strengthening Transportation – Ayo Taxi
Parallel to hospitality growth, our taxi services continued expanding. With increasing demand and structured operations, we launched Ayo Taxi — a franchise-based taxi service model.
This initiative was designed to:
- Standardize taxi services in Kutch
- Provide professional drivers and maintained vehicles
- Create income opportunities through franchise partnerships
- Offer reliable local and outstation transport
Today, Ayo Taxi supports both individual travelers and tour package customers with safe and organized transportation.
Complete Travel Solutions – Kutch Tours and Travels
With hotels and taxi services under strong management, the next natural step was to provide complete tour packages.
This led to the formation of Kutch Tours and Travels, offering end-to-end travel experiences covering:
- White Rann (Dhordo)
- Bhuj
- Mandvi
- Dholavira
Our packages include:
- Accommodation
