Who we are

“Live your life by a compass, not a clock.”

Parallels and Meridians is a private travel house based in New Delhi. Since 2015 we have designed bespoke journeys across India, Nepal, Bhutan and Sri Lanka for discerning travellers, families and private groups. We are a small team by choice: it allows us to know every client personally and to stay involved in every detail, from the first conversation to the journey home.

What we believe in

Integrity, discretion and care for the places we travel to. We look after your safety and privacy as closely as your comfort, and we work with partners who treat their teams, their communities and their environment with respect.

We aim to give you the moments you did not know to ask for.

Journey ideas

A palace stay in Udaipur with a private boat on Lake Pichola. Tiger tracking in Ranthambore with a naturalist who has followed the same family for years. A quiet week in the Paro and Punakha valleys of Bhutan. Tea country and the southern coast of Sri Lanka. A helicopter morning above the Everest range. Each is a starting point; we shape it around you.
Our travel designers know these destinations first-hand and follow every new opening. Tell us what you have in mind, however unusual, and we will tell you how we would make it happen.

Private small group journeys: our values

Our private group journeys follow the same principles as every tailor-made trip: an unhurried pace, privacy for every guest, and experiences that leave something positive behind for the people and places we visit.
