Customized Journeys
Anveshan's customized journeys are not limited to specific destinations. Instead, they consider the location, climate, and seasonality to recommend the best options for the group's desired travel period. This flexibility allows for a wide range of experiences, from trekking in the Himalayas to exploring urban centres, always with an eye on the most suitable times for each destination.
What sets these journeys apart is their focus on three core elements: self, community, and environment. The 'self' component is a constant across all Anveshan programs, incorporating inner journey sessions, reflections, and personal growth activities. The 'community' aspect is tailored to the specific group dynamics and the local communities encountered during the journey. The 'environmental' element is shaped by the chosen destination, allowing for immersive experiences in diverse ecosystems and landscapes.
Anveshan's customized journeys offer a unique and personalized approach to travel experiences, designed to cater to the specific needs, interests, and preferences of diverse groups of travellers. These journeys stand out from standard tour packages by emphasizing participatory design, experiential learning, and a focus on inner reflection and personal growth.
The customized journeys are open to travellers aged 14 and above, accommodating a wide range of age groups and interests. One of the most distinctive features of these journeys is the participatory approach to planning. Anveshan employs a needs-based analysis, involving both the organizers (such as schools or institutions) and the participants themselves in the design process. This collaborative approach ensures that the journey aligns closely with the group's expectations and goals.
Anveshan's customized journeys are particularly adept at accommodating multi-generational groups and travellers with diverse interests. They have successfully managed groups with ages ranging from 9 to 70 years old, creating enriching experiences that bridge generational gaps. This diversity often leads to fascinating intergenerational dialogues, with older participants reliving their youth and younger ones gaining wisdom from their elders' stories.
However, it's important to note that Anveshan has a unique policy regarding family members in their retreats. To ensure open and honest participation in reflection circles and personal growth activities, they don't allow immediate family members (such as spouses or siblings) to join the same retreat. This policy is designed to create a safe space where participants can be vulnerable and express themselves freely without fear of judgment or future repercussions within their family dynamics.
​
In essence, Anveshan's Customized Journeys offer a holistic travel experience that goes beyond sightseeing. They provide a platform for personal growth, community engagement, and environmental awareness, all while ensuring that the journey aligns closely with the unique interests and needs of each group. By balancing structured activities with flexibility, and personal reflection with group experiences, these journeys create memorable and transformative experiences for travellers of all ages and backgrounds.
