People often find themselves in a state of frenzy while planning for a vacation, having to figure out everything from transport, food and accommodation which often falls on one person to figure out for the whole group. If you're that person, and would gladly have someone else do the heavy lifting, and if you're someone who loves exploring the local culture of every place you visit, we know the perfect travel company in Hyderabad to plan your next vacay.
Sonder Experiential Travel began with the intention to offer offbeat travel packages to travellers that go beyond exploring the tourist spots at a destination. As an experienced solo traveller for over a decade, founder Yasasvi Jampana found that exploring the local traditions, cuisine, and culture added a lot more value to her as a person than conventional travel.
In line with her ideology, all itineraries at Sonder Experiential Travel are planned by experienced solo travellers or trip leaders who know the ins and outs of a location and have travelled extensively before. So, the recommendations you get for local experiences and cuisines have been tried and tested.
Sonder offers three kinds of tours—self guided, fixed departure, and custom private tours. Self guided tours are perfect for those who would love to travel by themselves. The travel company gives you complete details on best flights to book, safe accommodations, best places to visit and experience, and local points of contact in case of emergencies which we think is fantastic especially for solo travellers.
Solo women travellers are provided with contacts of trusted local women partnered with Sonder to help out with anything they may need on the trip. Custom private tours are great if you're a family or group of friends who'd love to explore a location accompanied by a trip leader. Fixed departure tours, like the name suggests, are perfect for group travels with a pre-set itinerary. The guided tours are organised for groups of two to thirty people.
All the trips concentrate on exploring the local culture of a place, with stays organised at accommodations run by local families while exploring their local cuisine. The company has done tours all over India to places like Spiti, Belagavi, Udaipur, Kashmir, Sikkim, Rajasthan, Meghalaya and many more rural, unexplored places. The travel company has just started tours in Vietnam and Peru as well.
The price point is impressive too! The self guided tour itineraries start at INR 1,500, group travel packages start at INR 10,000 while custom tour packages start at just INR 20,000 per person.
In addition to travel, the company also organises Sonder Experiential Learning—aiming to teach young children about survival training, hiking trips, and wildlife workshops.
We love that there is immense care taken while planning a trip at Sonder, just like a friend or a trusted acquaintance would, sorting out all the details before setting out to explore a location. You could drop a DM on their Instagram or visit their office in Aaromale for your personalised offbeat travel consultation.
