The Man Behind the Journeys

I don’t just plan trips—I curate journeys designed to match your unique needs, interests, and desires. With over three decades of experience in the luxury travel space, I bring an unparalleled depth of knowledge about India, Nepal, and Bhutan. My career began on the ground, leading expeditions through some of the most remote corners of the region. Today, I use that experience to craft seamless, high-touch travel experiences for discerning clients.

Three Defining Experiences That Shaped My Travel Philosophy:

Understanding Luxury Firsthand: An HNI client once asked me to book a private jet simply because he didn’t want to wake up at 5:00 AM for a commercial flight. That moment was a lesson in luxury travel: It’s not about extravagance for the sake of it—it’s about comfort, flexibility, and making travel effortless for those who value their time above all else.

Making the Impossible Happen I once worked with a client who refused to take ‘no’ for an answer. He had a vision for his trip that many would have dismissed as unrealistic. But I believe that with the right expertise, nearly anything is possible. Through persistence, deep local connections, and an understanding of what truly moves people, I turned his vision into reality.

The Power of Ground Knowledge I’ve been on the ground, leading expeditions, scouting new routes, and personally experiencing what works and what doesn’t. This hands-on experience allows me to confidently say ‘no’ when something isn’t feasible. For instance, when a group insisted on a car for a reconnaissance trip, I knew a bus was the better choice—because experience has taught me the nuances that make or break a trip.

What drives me today?

After 36 years, my passion for travel remains as strong as ever. What excites me is curating exceptional journeys and then hearing my clients say, “That was the trip of a lifetime.” It’s about knowing that I helped create memories that will last forever.
