We want people of all ages to experience how travel can be as much of a learning experience as school; how travel can shape us and help us discover the very essence of cultural experiences. We at NotOnMap aspire to create a culture where everyone - locals, travellers and nature - care for each other.

Our Concept 

NotOnMap’s concept is that of a travel company that facilitates Socio-Cultural Exchange, where we strive to provide travellers with beautiful experiences at remote locations and vice versa. We open doors of local homes, with hosts who extend their warm hospitality to travellers and allow a deeper impact cultural exchange that benefits both parties.

We believe in giving not just a home to stay but an entire village for the guest to stay.

This develops the meaning of community stay and allows more socio-cultural aspect to travel.
