Travel deep. Be More.
We curate rare and immersive travel experiences that help you live better.
Deep Immersive Travel
Lazooli Travels is not about the destination or those miles. It is not about typical 7 nights 8 day packages, popular ‘must visit’ checklists or the standard bed and breakfast options that you find everywhere.
Lazooli is about ‘the place’, ‘the calling’ and YOU. Through immersive travel we help you traverse your own truths, experience life through places only the way you can. It embarks you on a self-discovery journey where you fulfil those gaping voids of your life and feel truly alive. Lazooli completes you in a way only travel can. So that you live better.
Our crafted travels don’t culminate in a cab from the airport to your home. It lingers. Well beyond the duration of your holidays. With Lazooli, you don’t just make memories but bring meaning back to your life. And you don’t just share souvenirs but rather heartwarming stories.
With Lazooli, you travel to transform.
Lazooli. Because you are different.
You are not a tourist but a traveler. And that, too a mindful one. You know that tourists come back poorer, and travellers come back richer. Richer by experience. Mind-expanding experiences that transcend beyond travel infuse beautifully into a well-lived life.
You don’t travel like a sheep in a herd. You explore. Your travels don’t end up in a gallery of your smartphone but become an indispensable part of you. The part that was missing before you traveled.
You want to tell better travel stories. And you always want to return fulfilled. And so, Lazooli.
Why Lazooli?
Travel the way it is managed by many tour operators is not worth ‘your’ time. Packaged tours are highly compromised experiences that strip travel of its soul.
For years, we have been used to choosing destinations, making itineraries and comparing packages. We measured travel in to-do checklists, quality of hotel stays or simply variety of meals served.
Most mainstream travel agencies are not interested to make travel about you but them. Run-of-the-mill travel packages & itineraries are nothing but the lowest common denominator that can sell the most to many.
Travel is sold as a bundle of air travel, hotels & accommodation, meals and excursions. Tour Operators have become nothing but bundle factories. A bundle of anything will never linger. It evaporates as soon as you come back. A spent cheque. And an empty soul.
Let us pause for a moment and ponder over this question-
How has travel helped you live a better life when you are back from holidays?
With Lazooli Travels, you will be more and live better through travel.
10 things Lazooli will never do
-
A sheep in a herd
Travel should not feel like you are being herded like a sheep from place to place.
-
Zero Flexibility
We believe travel should not be set in stone. There should be room to wander and discover.
-
Lack of Choice in Food
Variety is indeed the spice of life. Since food is an indispensable part of a country’s culture, we craft journeys that let you experience a country through its culinary delights.
-
One Size Fits All
You are unique. And so are your interests. We include what you like and skip what you don’t. One-size-fits-all never works for people like us.
-
Rush
Our curated journeys are slow-brewed so that you immerse in them completely. We don’t make you rush by the minute.
-
'Touristee'
We focus on providing you with authentic experiences. Live like a local yet feel special.
-
Away from the heart of a place
We don’t make you stay away in the outskirts to cut costs. We believe in having an authentic travel experience; you need to stay in the heart of a place.
-
No interactions with locals
We craft your journeys in a way where you get to connect with a lot of locals. It will expand your horizons like nothing else will. See the world the way they do.
-
Tick Box Itinerary
Sight Seeing is not about ensuring to click pictures of all must-see places. This is not a race or a competition to win the “ you have seen it all” title.
-
Souvenir Memories
Memories of your holidays should not be trapped in the fancy souvenirs you bought; memories should last a lifetime with the stories you tell.
But first, why do we travel?
There maybe myriad of reasons but then it is really about 3 things-
Either we are escaping from something
We are seeking something or
We want to indulge
“You boys going somewhere, or just going?”
ESCAPE
We want to escape our daily grind, the status quo, confining limits, stagnating plateaus and the mundane repetitiveness of an ordinary life.
Make this travel about breaking away from your routine, responsibilities, and people to re-energize and reorganize.
Seek
We seek our whyness, tranquillity, a dash of an adrenaline rush, an identity, bittersweet nostalgia, or reliving childhood. We seek redemption or a second chance, connections and bonds, a soulmate, and perhaps a sense of belonging.
Or simply seek to be ourselves, to be 100%, to fill a void in our life, and to find the missing link. So seek. Fill in the blanks of your life.
What you seek is seeking you.
-Rumi
Indulge
Often we restrain ourselves in life, which could be for many reasons - culture, societal norms or a hectic lifestyle. But we are limitless beings and we want to live life to the fullest. And so indulge. Maximise life experiences. Take the sensorial joyride.
Indulgence is to explore a new culture through a culinary tour or shop for local artefacts or “do nothing at all” stay at beach resorts or get lost in nature. Pure indulgence is to connect through your senses, giving time to reflect and rediscover.
“You cannot connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards.”
