Skip The Map began as a longing — for journeys that don’t just show you the world, but show you to yourself.
The first page of our mapless tale
From Himalayan snow trails to Dolomite luxuries, Swanand & Nandkishore have wandered far, penguin dances, Southeast Asian soul meals, and everything in between. But the truest moments were never in itineraries. From college sprints across India to Kashmir reunions, their journeys stitched friendships into memories.What makes us, us
What began as stories shared has now become SkipTheMap, a time capsule of experiences first, everything else after.
In a world of content-heavy itineraries, they’ve built a bridge between technology and true experiences — bringing you closer, not just to places, but to your destination.

“Beyond destinations, life doesn’t live in places.
It lives in the people we meet, the connections we make, and the moments they create.”
- Nandkishore Kapoor
"Conversation, laughter, and the stories we live together are timeless, travelled the world to conclude this”
- Swanand Khot
We have wandered far …
In the last 40 years, Nandkishore & Swanand went from hiking in Himalayan snow leopard trails, to soaking in Italian luxury in the Dolomites, dancing with penguins in Dunedin (New Zealand), and sharing soul-soaked meals with locals in Southeast Asia. Passport stamps were many, but one thing was certain: the most unforgettable moments weren’t in the itineraries.
Together, the good old days & the good old ways … The last time we all travelled together was in college, pursuing Mechanical Engineering (2004–08). In a class of 70, a group of 6 best friends explored India in sprints — meeting people, learning about culture, cuisine, and everything in between. Life then took us down different roads, only to bring us back.
Kashmir, 2022 — a trip surprisingly made it out of the WhatsApp group, and we were straight in paradise. Like always, we skipped guides and stuck to experiences, making the best memories that have stayed forever. Boutique stays, local experiences, no plans, no timelines — built for moments, not maps.
Experiences together first, everything after. Something that’s missing in content-driven itineraries. We realized that experiences can change the way we look at the world, and it was time they took credit ahead of destinations.
At SkipTheMap, Nandkishore & Swanand have tried to bring technology and experiences closer together, taking you closer to your destination. From royal courtyards of Rajasthan to tribal trails in Northeast India, the ghats of Varanasi to the winding roads of Kinnaur, we craft journeys that move you.
"Wherever you go becomes a part of you somehow." — Anita Desai
Tailored trips for soul-seekers, adventurers, and culture lovers alike. Each designed exclusively for your personality.
“A journey is best measured in friends, rather than miles.” — Tim Cahill
Every destination is different based on your purpose; your journey is exclusive to you.
We aim to build “Travel That Gives Back”. Travel is more than discovery — it's a dialogue, a chance to give as much as we receive. Through every journey, we build genuine connections with local communities, honouring their stories, traditions, and way of life.
From ancient tribal cultures to sustainable living practices, we invite you to not just visit, but to understand, engage, and contribute. Explore villages setting global standards in cleanliness, meet tribes practicing age-old organic farming, and communities where sustainability is a shared lifestyle, not a slogan.
Together, we’ll uncover the origins of cultures, learn from eco-conscious practices, and preserve them one journey, one conversation, one mindful choice at a time. When you travel with intention, you don’t just explore the world — you help shape a better one.
Travel with SkipTheMap for experiences that take you beyond destinations.
