What Untourist Escapes isn’t

Let’s get one thing straight, shall we? Let’s tell you what Untourist Escapes isn’t. We aren’t your run-of-the-mill travel company running a marathon through cities and countries ticking the boxes and calling it a ‘vacation’. We aren’t here to make you do the ordinary, see the ordinary and experience the ordinary.

What Untourist Escapes is

Guess what!? We share the same dream of travelling the world! Untourist Escapes focuses on creating group trips specialising in crafting slow and immersive group trips to truly offbeat destinations balancing adventures with relaxation. Travelling to a new place always opens doors to new learnings and we are aiming to get you more out of your trips - to upgrade you from a tourist to a traveller. Every escape is a close-knit, unforgettable adventure tailored just for you and a select group of fellow explorers who share your passion.

The trips will always be a small group of like-minded travellers – who wish to step out of the ordinary tours to experience extraordinary places. But how small? Well, it is small enough for you to remember all your fellow travellers’ names after Day 1.

After spending a considerable time in each country, we learn about our destinations and select everything personally. What you get is a unique, adventurous, exciting yet relaxing and at times, even sneaking in a bit of a luxurious experience.

Every trip is carefully crafted and physically researched to ensure authenticity and that you don’t miss out on anything major from these places. Now your favourite clubs’ DJ will not like this but we do entertain your requests and queries prior to the trip and ensure each trip is customised to your comfort and concerns. We sweat the details, researching and planning every aspect of your trip.

Join us and let our escapes change the way you see the world!

Aditya's Profile Picture

Aditya

Founder

Aditya serves as the creative chef behind Untourist Escapes and is sucker for anything that is remotely adventurous and is slow climbing the ladders of surfing, paragliding and free diving. He also juggles between being a lawyer, a photographer and a content creator.

On a trip, you will ordinarily find him either giving some random gyaan about the place, zoning out in creating some content, hunting for the best things to do/eat/drink/see or learning the local language and successfully failing at it!

"While many dream of ticking the box of visiting every country in the world, my years of travel have taught me not to chase those numbers. It's not about the number of countries you visit; what truly matters is how long you spent and how deeper you travelled in each country."




Bhargavi's Profile Picture

Bhargavi

Founder

In our generation, there are people who are dog persons and cat persons. Well, meet Bhargavi – her favourite animal is – Humans! Imagine! Her favourite pastime is - people watching. She’s a sucker for all things real- the good, the bad, the ugly, the black, the white and the grey. She’s a cheerleader for all the dreamers, believers and manifesters

On her travels – she would spend most of her time listening to fellow travellers and locals, talk and share their stories, experiences. You can easily bore her with a superficial conversation but she is all ears for some deep and intense conversations. The other times, she would be in the room managing her slightly unhealthy obsession with packing cubes.

Travelling for her is more than just seeing a place, clicking pictures, doing that trek, partying or chilling by the beach – it’s a soul finding and eventually soul smiling exercise. On a trip, she will ensure that you have the most memorable trip of your life on a spiritual and emotional level and a lot of bakchodi, of course!
