I will definitely recommend Novoto to anyone who is travelling to Sri Lanka! I will be doing their Sri Lanka uncovered tour in 2023 and to say the least, I was blown away by their expertise and values. Aniket seems like a passionate founder; his vision behind Novoto is quite inspiring.

Doing the Sri Lanka tour in 2023 with my girlfriend. I have always preferred travelling in groups and meeting people from different corners of the world. However, finding like minded co-travelers is not so easy. So when I found out about Novoto’s group tours for young travelers like me, it did not take me long to book their Sri Lanka Uncovered tour. I am excited to travel across this amazing island with new mates next year 😀

Before doing the 12 days Sri Lanka uncovered trip, I had never travelled outside Europe. So obviously the thought of travelling solo to a new country with a completely different culture was very overwhelming. I had no idea what to expect. Thanks to Novoto, I thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience. Aniket is one of the friendliest guys around and helped me with planning the entire trip – the booking process (it’s too simple anyway), finding the right flights, sorting out the visa and all covid related travel formalities. Donnie was our group leader and he made the cultural immersion easy for me and I felt minimal cultural shock. I fell in love with Sri Lanka and I cannot thank Novoto enough for this out of the world experience. I am going on their India trip next! For anyone getting cold feet for travelling solo for the first time, the guys will make you want more 😀

To sum up in a few words, my Sri Lanka trip with Novoto was out of the world! I had been on group tours before, but Novoto’s personalised approach blew me away. Donnie is one of the funniest guys I know and he made sure the entire trip was seamless. Although we travelled around the country during the economic turmoil, he made sure we did not miss out on any of the highlights. They really impressed me with their values which emphasise on regenerative travel and sustainability. They strive to make sure that their tours give back to the host communities you visit. We visited Sri Sudarshi School for special needs and it was genuinely one of the most heart warming experiences yet. I love what they stand for. I am convinced they will become a leader in the regenerative travel movement! 10/10 and recommended them to anyone who advocates for social change!

Despite being a start-up, Novoto’s amazing customer services really impressed me. Once I spoke to Aniket, I was sure about doing the south India tour. They helped me with the entire booking process and even helped me find the right flights. For anyone who finds travelling abroad overwhelming, I highly recommend team Novoto. They are friendly and genuine and will answer all your queries.

I have always wanted to travel solo, but the thought of doing so scared me. Then I came across Novoto and found out about their small group tours. I will be doing the South India tour next summer and I cannot wait to meet people from different walks of life while exploring this part of the Indian subcontinent.

When I went through the itineraries, what caught my eyes were the responsible activities and experiences which promoted responsible travel. The south India itinerary stood out for me. Staying in local homestays, visiting women cooperatives and visiting schools caught my eyes. I cannot wait to join their tour!

I travelled to India back in 2018 and have always wanted to go back to explore the underrated southern bits. Once I came across their brilliant 15 days South India itinerary, I knew this was my calling. I understand many people will have their inhibitions as Novoto is a start-up. I say, if you want it, go get it!

Whenever someone thinks of India, they think of the Taj Mahal and the forts of Rajasthan. Thanks to Novoto, now I have explored southern India. From the backwaters of Kerala to the ruins of Hampi, we saw a side of India they do not show you on the news. If you guys are thinking of exploring south India, you guys should trust Novoto with your eyes closed. Their in-depth knowledge takes you to off-beat locations you have never heard of and explores cultures which will light up your soul.

The perfect India tour. Aniket made sure we spent a good amount of time in each place and covered all the highlights while doing off-beat activities as well. He was quite knowledgeable and gave the group amazing insights about the country. I am doing their Nepal tour next year!

Junaid and Aniket are extremely helpful. The way they led the tour was both educational and fun. I can vouch for Novoto and recommend you to do this tour. I had the best time doing the North India tour. From meeting new people, trying out street food, the amazing crew bonding nights and the authentic stays will always have a place in my heart. Thanks to Novoto for this amazing trip!

I did the 15 days colours of North India tour in 2019 as part of a longer trip to India. It was an amazing way to pack in loads of activities and see a different side of the country, immersing myself more than I could have done alone. I loved our cooking class with a family in Udaipur and hearing stories from all the friends we made along the way – like Himanshu, an auto driver who was kind enough to introduce us to his family and show us new places in pushkar. I loved every minute of the trip – Novoto made everything easy and tailored the experience to our tastes as much as possible. I’m so excited to do the Sri Lanka tour next year!!

I found the perfect balance on Novoto’s Colours of North India tour. It had it all! From having local experiences to travelling in a way that gives back to the local communities, it was a well crafted 15 days once in a lifetime adventure. Not to mention the amazing people I met on the tour. We are all now surely friends for life! Novoto has given me a new approach on how to discover a place and now I cannot go back!

I travelled to India with Novoto and for their 15 days Colours of North India tour and I cannot get over it! From the seamless booking process to the end of the tour, Novoto’s team was incredibly helpful with every step. Northern India is on everyone’s bucket list and I am buzzed to have finally crossed it off my list. You get to roll around a vibrant new culture, delicious street foods and the fun tuk-tuk rides. Thank you Novoto for making it possible. I will be back again for sure 🙂

Wildlife, culture, adventure and people! There is nothing else I would want on a tour and the 14 days Annapurna Base Camp trek with Chitwan just fits the bill. Moreover, I am glad that a start-up like Novoto is taking a lead in the social impact sphere – YOU WILL LOVE IT!

Trekking through the Annapurna range in Nepal has always been high on my bucket list – the terrain, the views, the fresh mountain air, what more could you ask for? Novoto offers one of the most exciting itineraries I’ve seen, and I cannot wait to travel with them to Nepal in 2023!!

Novoto being a start-up, I initially had doubts. However, once I spoke to their super friendly experts and discussed the tour, it did not take me much long to book their Nepal tour. See you in Nepal in Feb 2023!

Novoto’s friendliness and expertise in Nepal super impressed me. Moreover, I have known Aniket for years and I know how passionate he is about Novoto. So when he told me about the Annapurna Base Camp trek, which has been on my bucket list for far too long, I did not think twice. The itinerary is more than trekking. The safari, culture and social impact that such a tour can create is outstanding. They had amazing customer service too. I am super excited to travel to Nepal and experience the majestic Himalayas next year. See you there?
