“Travel isn’t about counting places—it’s about creating moments that change you forever.”
— Surajit Mitra, Founder
OUR APPROACH
We're not just a travel consultancy. We’re a movement for travelers who crave authenticity, connection, and freedom.
Founded by Surajit Mitra, a wildlife enthusiast and seasoned globetrotter, Curious Monk Travel blends deep local knowledge with a passion for discovering the soul of each destination.
Who are we..
At Curious Monk, we’re not a corporate tour company with glossy brochures.
We’re a bunch of travellers, storytellers, and culture-curious explorers who believe travel is best experienced with freedom, humour, and heart.
