Sometimes an adventure is less about exploring and more about experiencing. If we had our way, this would be every getaway. Because why spend your holidays at a regular pace? Or chasing 10 places you must see before you leave? Slow down. Look around. There's so much to explore, live and experience in just this. That said, if you're looking for the means to do all this and then some, hit up Knowhere Travel Co.
Founded by avid traveller Suman Sukumar, this social travel company celebrates and promotes intimate and conscious getaways. It is also probably the first and the only platform that curates honest, authentic and responsible adventures to rare, hidden gems. Those that are nothing like a luxurious hotel or a resort. Instead, think, lush wilderness lodges, secret local homestays, organic farms, and pristine beach houses. Knowhere Travel Co also makes sure to handpick partners that are kind to the environment, those that practice something as simple as farming, or farm to table cooking to those preserving wildlife or cultural heritage.
And like we pointed right at the beginning, it is all about slow travel. So, if you're at a small homestay in the hills of Himachal or at a cottage on the banks of one of Kerala's rivers, know that you don't have to travel too far to enjoy the social, cultural or environmental dimensions of that place -- just live through the day of a Kumaoni couple or a Keralan family. Afterall, you're at someone's home, second home or extension of their home, just exploring their backyard.
