You see, worldly fame just isn’t our cup of tea. Instead, we’re quietly dedicated to crafting tailor-made experiences rather than mass-producing run-of-the-mill itineraries.
We have personally visited and vetted every hotel and service that we offer, right down to the car that picks you up from the airport. We have tirelessly travelled the length and breadth of our destinations to assemble truly unique experiences that we can guarantee you will not find elsewhere. No cookie-cutter itineraries for Yonder guests.
Other travel providers may talk a big game on expertise and customisation. But when you attempt to be everything to everyone, the risk is you end up excelling at nothing.
So while the rest of the world has gone headfirst into one-size-fits all mass tourism, we have stayed true to our boutique roots. We will spend as long as it takes to tease out your personalised travel preferences. And we will then devise an itinerary that is as unique as your fingerprint.
But that’s just the start of our role as your virtual travelling companions. When you’re finally ready to depart, our experts will be with you every step of the way.
We don’t offer you the world – only those fabulous corners of it where our finesse is second to none. We call it Yonder. It’s a place that we know.
Most of our business is repeat bookings from happy customers.
Other operators like to talk a big game: no one knows Asia like we do.
All flight-inclusive bookings are fully bonded and protected by ATOL.
No crowded tour buses for us. Here’s just a flavour of the magical moments that go into a Yonder holiday.
It is fitting to witness the extraordinary monument, the Taj Mahal (closed on Friday), during the first light of day, as its exemplary beauty is truly awe-inspiring and will leave an indelible memory. This early time of day is when the site is least crowded, providing a peaceful and serene experience of the world’s most romantic landmark.
Board a private houseboat for an overnight cruise on Lake Vembanad and in the backwaters. Your personal crew will tend to your every need, and produce your meals, as they navigate this unique waterway ecosystem ensuring you can relax and savour this very special overnight experience.
While Old Delhi unravels the old charm and speaks volumes about India’s history, culture, and tradition, enchanting New Delhi exhibits the picture of modern India.
The tour will begin with a visit to the Jama Masjid, one of Asia’s largest mosques. It was built in red sandstone and marble by more than 5000 artisans. Later, visit Chandni Chowk, Asia’s largest wholesale market, a massive area packed with shops, bazaars, and people (most of the shops remain closed on Sundays). Drive past the Red Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage Site built by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in the 17th century. Also, visit the Raj Ghat, a simple memorial to Mahatma Gandhi.
Proceed towards New Delhi, which reflects the legacy the British left behind. The first stop will be a UNESCO World Heritage site – Qutub Minar, the second tallest minar in India. It is made of red stone and marble, covered with intricate carvings and verses from the Qur’an.
Later, visit the 16th-century Humayun’s Tomb, the first garden-tomb on the Indian subcontinent, an outstanding monument in the Indo-Persian style and a precursor to the Taj Mahal. The tour of Imperial Delhi will also include a drive past India Gate, the 42m high War Memorial Arch, the Parliament House, the Secretariat buildings, and the Vice Regal Palace, now the official residence of the President of India.
Whilst in Ranthambore you will enjoy two private tiger safaris. For the first, it’s an early start to be in the national park for sunrise. Your Sher Bagh driver and naturalist guide will know the areas most likely to result in a tiger sighting. While you’re out on safari, you’ll almost certainly see a monkey troop or two, while deer and crocs are ubiquitous. Bird life, from owls to eagles and from kingfishers to hoopoes, is in plentiful supply and if you are lucky enough to come across a tiger or leopard kill, you might find hyenas or jackals scavenging. Sloth bears also call this magical place home. You’ll get back to the hotel to enjoy an early lunch before setting off into the park again for your second safari.
Started in 1903, the Kalka Shimla Toy Train is now listed as a World Heritage UNESCO site. It is known for lush green mountains with scenic, misty views. The Kalka–Shimla Railway was built to connect Shimla, the summer capital of India during the British Raj, with the rest of the Indian rail system. At the time of construction 107 tunnels and 864 bridges were built throughout the course of the track.
Travel to an ancient stepwell by bullock cart on the edge of a rural Rajasthani village. The stepwell is illuminated by thousands of candles. A traditional feast is served with the soundtrack provided by local musicians
The journey to the fort through Amber village is truly picturesque and offers a glimpse into the vibrant Rajasthani culture. Upon reaching the summit of Amer Fort, take a leisurely stroll through the expansive complex of courtyards and halls.
The Amer Fort, constructed by Raja Man Singh I in the 16th century and later completed by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh in the 18th century, boasts grand architecture. Its expansive ramparts, sequence of gates, and cobblestone pathways provide a commanding view over Maota Lake. Prominent structures within the fort include the Diwan-i-Aam (Hall of Public Audience), the Diwan-i-Khas (Hall of Private Audience), the Sheesh Mahal (Mirror Palace), Jai Mandir, and the Sukh Niwas (Hall of Pleasure).
Venture into the plantation: a morning stroll in the crisp mountain air is invigorating, and it is all the more interesting, when you get the opportunity to try your hand at tea plucking (subject to the growth of the leaves) and interact with the workers who do this as their daily work.
On a Yonder holiday, a hotel is more than just a place to rest your head; it’s central to the entire experience.
