The river, the lanes, and a city that has never paused.
Travelers’ notes
Three trips, three voices.
“We told Reena we wanted Spiti without the Royal Enfield circus. She put us with a Tabo family for two nights. We came back changed. Eight months later, we're still talking about that breakfast.”
“Shailesh has been to Bandhavgarh more times than most lodge owners. He didn't just plan our drives — he told the naturalists what mattered to us. Every morning he was right.”
“I had been to Banaras twice before. The Hideaways trip felt like the first real one. Manoj-bhai's boat at 5 AM. A weaver's lane I'd never have found. A city I thought I knew.”
“Shailesh and his team organized our Ladakh expedition beautifully. The itinerary was perfect — not too rushed, not too slow. They truly understand what travelers need.”
“Our Sri Lanka trip planned by HideAways was nothing short of magical. Every detail was perfectly thought out, from the boutique stays to the hidden waterfalls only locals know about.”
“Our Istanbul trip was a dream come true! HideAways is not your typical travel agency — they craft experiences. Shailesh was very courteous and helpful from the very beginning.”
“What sets HideAways apart is the personal touch. They were just a call away throughout our Rajasthan journey. The heritage hotel selections were impeccable.”
Who plans this
Hideaways is run by Shailesh & Reena Vishwakarma in Indore. They’ve built every itinerary they sell over the last decade — on foot, in person, often more than once.
