International destinations

A shortlist, not a catalogue

We only plan places we know first-hand. Each destination below is somewhere we have walked, eaten, gotten lost and been glad of it — and each is planned from Kochi with one conversation, one planner, and every detail handled.

Sri Lanka — Tea-country trains and leopard mornings

Sri Lanka

Tea-country trains and leopard mornings

A slow train through the highlands, a safari at first light, a curry you will describe to friends for years. Sri Lanka rewards travelers who take it gently — and it is barely an hour from home.

Maldives — One island, one villa, one particular blue

Maldives

One island, one villa, one particular blue

The Maldives is less a destination than a state of mind: barefoot days, water in a colour that needs a new name, and nothing on the schedule but the tide. We match you to the right island — quiet, lively, or wildly remote.

Bali — Temple dawns and rice-terrace dusks

Bali

Temple dawns and rice-terrace dusks

Beyond the beach clubs is the Bali worth crossing an ocean for: incense at dawn, green terraces cut like amphitheatres, and villages where craft is still a family matter. We know where it hides.

Vietnam — Lantern towns and limestone bays

Vietnam

Lantern towns and limestone bays

Vietnam moves at every speed at once — noodles at a plastic table, a junk drifting through Ha Long, a tailor in Hoi An finishing your jacket by morning. We pace it so you can savour all three.

Thailand — River cities and slow southern islands

Thailand

River cities and slow southern islands

Bangkok by longtail boat, temples before the heat, and then south — to islands chosen by temperament rather than fame. Thailand is easy to visit and hard to visit well. We handle the second part.

Dubai — Desert quiet an hour from the skyline

Dubai

Desert quiet an hour from the skyline

Dubai is two journeys in one: a city that reinvents itself by the season, and a desert that has never needed to. Dinner among the dunes, mornings in the old souks, and everything booked before you think of it.

Somewhere else in mind?

The shortlist grows carefully, and we take requests seriously. Read about how we plan international journeys, or simply ask.
