About The Other Way
Soulful. Adventurous. Limitless.
Your vibe. Your story. The Other Way.
Luxury curated travel designed around who you are—not a checklist.
"Your vibe. Your story. The Other Way."
The Other Way is a luxury boutique travel designer based in India, curating soulful, immersive journeys crafted around each traveler’s unique vibe.
We design trips that move away from checklists — focusing instead on rhythm, vibe, connection, and experiences that stay with you long after the journey ends.
Our Story – Journey Behind Our Boutique Travel Company
The Other Way was born from a simple realisation — the most beautiful journeys aren’t rushed or ordinary. They unfold gently. They shift you. They stay with you.
What began as a personal pursuit of meaningful travel grew into a boutique travel company that curates experiences with intention. At TOW, the stay, the pace, the encounters, and the people you meet along the way matter as much as the destination.
From Bhutan’s quiet valleys to Iceland’s winter skies and Japan’s neon-lit streets — every itinerary is crafted to help you feel the soul of a place, not just see it.
"Every traveler has a vibe. Which one is yours?"
Our Philosophy
We don't sell "must-sees." We create must-feels. Whether you long for calm mornings, crave wild nights, seek hidden trails, or cherish group intimacy—your vibe becomes your compass.

"Behind TOW is a traveler who wanted more from journeys."
Founder's Story – Deepti Patel
"Some journeys begin with a map. Mine began with a restless heart."
From wandering through Japan’s quiet temples and neon-lit streets, finding serenity in Kyoto and rhythm in Tokyo, to capturing the haunting beauty of Kutch’s salt desert at sunset, my travels have always been about contrasts — stillness and thrill, silence and music, awe and abandon.
I’ve trekked the mighty Everest Base Camp and Goechala with fellow seekers, and found solitude on the trail to Kareri Lake with nothing but my camera and the mountains for company.
I have stood in hushed anticipation as the forests of Tadoba and Pench revealed their big cats — moments that taught me patience, reverence, and the pulse of the wild.
There were nights of dancing at Pangong Lake with Ladakh’s locals, mornings riding a bike to ancient monasteries, afternoons chasing Vietnam’s layered landscapes from Sapa to Ha Long, and evenings losing myself in the euphoria of Bali’s Savaya Beach Club before rising with the sun at Mount Batur.
Some places surprised me more in their quiet than their fame — the lanes of Sorrento charmed me endlessly, even when the Mona Lisa left me unmoved. From treehouses in Jibhi to coffee estates in Coorg, my journeys have whispered one truth to me over and over:
"Some journeys begin with a map. Mine began with a restless heart."

Why I Created The Other Way
As a luxury boutique travel designer, my mission is to help travelers find their own rhythm, not follow someone else’s checklist. It is my offering to travelers who, like me, seek more than just sights. My love for culture, wildlife, photography, and spiritual immersion positions me not as a tour operator, but as a curator of experiences that help you find your own story.
The Other Way isn't about recreating my footsteps. It's about paving paths where you can wander freely, guided not by "must-dos," but by what truly moves you.
“The world surprised me more in its small corners than its grandest sights. With TOW, I want you to feel the same—beyond itineraries, beyond checklists.”
