For an authentic and genuine perspective of the countries you’ve chosen to explore, and to gain a deeper understanding of the place, its people and their way of life, you need to experience it like a local.

Immerse yourself in native culture…

Discover timeless customs, cultural performances and sacred sites. Meet local communities, farmers and fishermen and learn about their traditional techniques.

Enjoy a true appreciation of the destination you are in with many fascinating inclusions, from spending the night on a traditional houseboat along Kerala’s backwaters, to tea-plucking with local professionals in Sri Lanka.

…and cuisine.

Dine with a family in Jaipur, master the art of Japanese sushi making, prepare traditional meals or head to hidden hotspots to discover those places that only the locals know about.
