Exotic Journeys

Red Lantern Journeys specializes in arranging cultural tours and adventure travel packages in Asia for small private groups and independent travelers.

Our expertly designed tours offer a distinctive mix of iconic sights and cultural activities. Well-trained local guides involve you in their cultures and customs to make you feel a welcome part of the community.

Our destinations not only include India, China, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Bali—countries that are well known for their iconic sights, ancient histories, and unique cultures—but also more adventurous destinations such as Nepal, Laos, Myanmar, Mongolia, Bhutan, and Tibet.

Exceptional Service

When you contact us, a personal travel consultant with extensive knowledge of your destination will be assigned to help you plan your trip. From the time of your initial inquiry to the time that you return from your trip, you will be well cared for.

A conversation with a Red Lantern Journeys consultant involves one traveler talking to another traveler who has had first-hand experience in your destinations.

Mitrata means “friendship” in Nepalese, and it’s the foundation of our company’s culture. Our past clients have become our friends through the process of planning their trip with us and often can’t wait to tell us about their experiences after they return.
