We exist simply to save you time, take the stress out of your holiday planning and provide you with a holiday organized above the expectations of the ordinary traveler.

We hope that our website provides you with the inspiration you need for your next holiday. You’ll find lots of ideas and suggestions based on our extensive travel experience and knowledge of what the Indian sub-continent has to offer. We pride ourselves on that expertise, on understanding our client’s needs and matching the two together to ensure you have the perfect holiday.

So come in and experience the world, on your terms.
Our mission is to stretch your imagination thereby helping you to fulfil some of your dreams. It’s easy to let the years slip by without visiting those places you’ve “always wanted to see”.
We are an exclusive travel business for discriminating like minded individuals who expect the very best that this wonderful sub-continent has to offer. Our aim is to plan your trips with you personally to ensure we create a truly individualized experience for you and your family. We like to meet each and every one of you to chat through all your holiday ideas in order to get a real feeling for what excites you and how best we are able to assist.
Whether you are looking for a beach holiday, a Himalayan adventure, a tiger safari, or a river trip through the Ganges, our aim is to plan it with immaculate imagination to ensure you enjoy it as much as possible.
Lateral Journeys will refresh your mind, body and soul, stimulate your imagination and satisfy your senses. We specialize in stylish and original tailor-made holidays, creating unforgettable experiences for discerning travelers. We personally research, road test and review everything we offer, working with specialists on the ground to provide an experience that delivers what it promises. Each place we send you is special either because of its design, the cuisine, the staff and facilities, the activities we can provide you with, or purely and simply the natural setting.
Lateral Journeys is committed to responsible tourism without compromising the exceptional quality of your experience. Wherever possible, we work with like minded people who make genuine efforts to minimise the impact they have on the environment and contribute to local communities, so that the holidays we offer can be of benefit to the destinations we work with. If you want to strike a balance between travelling the world in style, and protecting the environment, then Lateral Journeys is the answer.
