We began planning a life long dream of mine eight months ago to Arfica. This was a birthday surprise for me and a graduation gift for my son, from my dear sister. Of course, she knew she was going to use Kora Journeys as she had done previously with her trip to China and could not speak highly enough of how detailed and beautifully planned, the trip was by Sunitta and Kora Travels. We left the states on Emirates Air, arrived in Kenya with wonderful, unknown anticipation of what was about to transpire. Africa, beautiful Africa. Each lodge we stayed in and we moved about every 3 days was always waiting for us with hot towels, fresh drinks and welcoming smiles. The accommodations for our safaris were top notch, beautifully designed and we always felt very safe. We, all, enjoyed the freshly, prepared food, some of the best in the world. We traveled to Tanzania next and then lastly Uganda ending our journey with Gorilla trekking. Sunitta made sure we were taken care of with great detail through our journey. It was a most incredible experience of a lifetime and I would recommend Kora Travels for anyone. We will definitely call upon Sunitta and Kora Travels for our next journey.

My wife and I extensively travel on long trips all over the world. Our travel usually encompasses multiple countries for months at a time and involves a wide variety of daily activities. These activities include hiking, deep cultural experiences, fishing, sailing, bird watching, exploring ancient civilizations and cooking just to mention a few.
I have worked with Sunitta at Kora Journeys for many years planning these complex, mostly custom designed trips. She brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to the table in a client-focussed manner that has produced some of the most memorable on-the-road experiences in our lives. When we plan the itineraries, Sunitta carefully listens to us and at the same time, pushes our thinking. in addition to customized activities provided by Kora, Sunitta is more than happy to wrap in packaged tour segments separately arranged by the client. She often involves multiple in-country providers to make sure we get the best ideas and pricing. Consequently, the itineraries are iterated multiple times until all parties are happy.
When it comes time to embark on a trip, Sunitta ensures that the in-country provider is looking over our shoulder at all times and if a problem arises, she takes ownership of finding a solution. In fact, problems rarely arise in spite of the trip complexity primarily because the planning and choice of providers is so meticulous. As a result, we rarely have a bad guide experience or a logistical problem that can¹t be managed. Her deep, professional relationships at hotels around the world ensures that we get personal care when staying there and often are afforded upgrades and amenities. We have had wine, massages, cooking demonstrations and food credits at hotels worldwide.
From planning to execution, Kora Journeys delivers travel experiences that live up to the highest standards of quality and enjoyment.

CONGRATULATIONS to Sunitta Hedau and Kora Journeys on “jobs well done”!!
My wife and I recently returned from travels to Hong Kong; New Delhi and Agra India; Bhutan; and Bangkok. Our trip was planned and organized by Sunitta and Kora Journeys with an emphasis on travel throughout magnificent Bhutan. Sunitta had previously planned an extensive travel plan for us throughout Southeast Asia.
The magic of Sunitta and Kora is that Sunitta has traveled extensively herself and she has formed personal relationships with the absolute BEST guides as well as many of the managers of the BEST hotels and resorts. It was not unusual that the manager of each 5 star accommodation in our travels would visit us and tell us that Sunitta was well known to them and that she had asked that we be given the VIP treatment. We always felt warmly received.
Sunitta’s attention to detail is remarkable and resulted in “on time” performance throughout our travels. It is terribly comforting to have the confidence that all the plans will perform as expected. Throughout our two major trips with Sunitta every detail was managed perfectly. I am someone who worries about detail, and I found that I could stop worrying and just enjoy the ride. Sunitta always planned special and creative surprises for us apart from our basic schedule.
My wife and I have a passion for travel and have traveled on all seven continents. We are in our late 60’s but remain active. As we have aged we find that our “comforts” have become more important to us. Sunitta has been able to design travel for us that is compatible with our capabilities and yet exciting and educational. We are already starting to plan our next journey with Sunitta and Kora. The best statement I can make about Sunitta and Kora is that each and every experience we have had met or exceeded our expectations.
BRAVO SUNITTA.

The entirely bespoke trip that you planned for the two of us to India was impeccable in every single way…including the most wonderful private Diwali celebration that you arranged through your personal connections on the ground. Your handcrafted selection of local guides & amazing hotels were unparalleled.
Our first trip to Africa was equally as spectacular and stunning based on your planning guidance…as was our exploration of SE Asia, all because of your significant planning expertise and the incredible depth and breadth that you have within these regions. Of equal importance is how very well you listen to our personal travel objectives and needs which provided each journey with another layer of uniqueness that we both deeply appreciate. Under your guidance, all of our trips have been executed flawlessly….and without question, we are fortunate to have found you as our Luxury Travel advisor.
There is no doubt that we will continue to turn to you and Kora Journeys for future explorations elsewhere in the world.

This is our 4th trip with Sunita Hedaoo and Kora Journeys and we can not wait for the next one!
I first traveled with Kora Journeys on a beautifully handcrafted trip to Spain, Portugal and Morocco, then I headed to Australia which was also executed seamlessly by Sunita. I was in Germany too on an absolute seamless trip planned by Sunita and executed by Kora Journeys.
My recent trip was to Hyderabad, India and I can not find enough words and phrases to describe Sunita and her work ethics and style.
Kora Journeys which is her brand is an absolute amazing experience perfectly in synch with their ethos! Sunitta’s knowledge is BEYOND UNBELIEVABLE! She knows everyone , everywhere in the global travel industry! You ask her a question about a city anywhere in the globe and she will have an answer and all the details right at that moment. Her memory is amazing and her attention to detail and passion and dedication to her clients is something we have never come across from all these years of traveling the world
She is unique and she is over the top talented !
I will recommend Sunita and her brand Kora Journeys to everyone
