CUSTOM TOURS

Given the flavours of our journeys, you get the best of what we do, and the most personalised and meaningful experiences, by charting your own custom journey with us. Small private groups or families are in fact our specialisation – in most cases, we do not even run scheduled tours, but only run tours by arrangement with specific groups.

We can create an itinerary customised for your needs in the geographical areas where we work. You can get an idea of the places where we work – and activities we organise – by exploring the journeys section of this website. 

In a customised tour, you choose the activities or interests you’re seeking, the length of travel and also the level of luxury (budgetary arrangements). The choices that you can make can be considerable. Examples: you can choose whether you want to do only day-hikes or multi-day treks; whether you want to visit historical sights such as temples or focus only on natural destinations; whether you want to include any of the famous attractions in your journey or simply travel to offbeat places; whether you are prepared to travel rough or whether you prefer luxuries where available; whether you would like to spend time working on a farm or getting close to local inhabitants by, for example, spending a day learning to cook at a local household or whether you’re simply content with visiting villages for a few hours and then moving on.

Additionally, you can also choose the travel arrangement itself and the level of luxury that suits your tastes and budget. Would you prefer to stay in the best hotels at each given destination or in guesthouses or in homestays? Do you want to travel in an SUV or would a normal car suffice? If you’re a group of 6 or more, do you want a convoy of SUVs or a mini-bus? After a day’s hiking or outing, would you like to celebrate over a good bottle of wine, or are you content with tea or water? Can you eat local food at a farmer’s house, or local eatery, or would you need the services and cleanliness and professionalism of a better restaurant? Like to wallow in authentic local cuisine – which might be oily and spicy and pungent – or do you want to tone down the fieriness and roughness of the local dishes? Can you do hard treks, especially overnight treks, or only light day hikes? Do you want to go fishing, or would you prefer to sit back and have someone catch your fish and serve it to you? Do you want to sleep in a hammock on a deserted beach, or would you prefer to sleep in a hotel room with fan or aircon?

By making all these choices, you influence the price, and the price can vary widely depending on the levels of luxury that you opt for. You can choose the level of luxury and comfort, as well as opt to forego certain other frills, to alter the travel arrangements and price that suits your taste and budget. 

You get the idea. To get started, either write to us or fill in the form below. Please bear in mind that we will be able to serve you better and faster if you take some time to think over the kind of trip you want, telling us your preferences in every sphere of the travel, and being as specific as possible. Once we receive your request, we’ll be in touch to discuss the detailed arrangements.

Please bear in mind that we’re a small team – and that the local experts we employ as tour leaders (rock climbers, trekkers, photographer, historians, ethnographers, and so on) have other commitments – and hence it’s best to contact as early as possible to ensure we’re able to serve you at your preferred time of travel.
