Fifteen curious people make a different version of a place. That is the one we go to.

One departure a month, fifteen seats, three at most to a booking, and a host who has walked it first. One age band a departure, so nobody is the odd one out.

A letter from Nakul

Nakul Karwa, founder of Travalong Journeys

Founder · Travalong Journeys · Mumbai

It's past midnight and I'm comparing two ferry timetables for a trip that isn't even mine. One ferry is forty minutes faster. The other leaves at dawn and catches the islands waking up. I've been at this for an hour. The dawn ferry wins. The dawn ferry always wins.

  • “No temples, no museums, just food. They built an entire trip around it. Every meal was a discovery.”

    Arjun M., Bangalore · Thailand

  • “They put us with a family in a kasbah. Two nights I'll think about for the rest of my life.”

    Sneha and Vikram · Morocco

  • “My parents are in their sixties. Nakul designed something slow, comfortable, but never boring. They came back glowing.”

The First Draft

Write the trip in three lines. A person on our desk sends a first draft, free, then we carry on over WhatsApp.

Free. Read by a person in Mumbai or Nashik, never a machine.

Tell us who is coming. We will draw the route.
