“ Welcome to Urumaya Travel! ”

We are two friends brought together by a shared passion for travel, cultural heritage, and the arts.

In collaboration with our trusted local partners, we craft small-group tours that offer immersive experiences, showcasing the vibrant culture, traditions, and artistry of the unique destinations we visit.

Our journey began over 15 years ago, working on a heritage project in Laos PDR. Since then, we’ve had the privilege of living and working in incredible places such as Papua New Guinea, Fiji, and Sri Lanka. Our travels have taken us across the globe—from the Asia-Pacific and Southeast Asia to the subcontinent, the Middle East, and North Africa.

These adventures have profoundly enriched our lives: the warm locals we’ve met, the hidden treasures we’ve uncovered, the talented artisans we’ve encountered, the mouthwatering cuisines we’ve savoured, and the breathtaking landscapes we’ve explored.

Our carefully curated itineraries reflect everything we cherish about travel- authentic and insightful experiences, celebration of heritage, culture and artistry, genuine connections with local communities and a deeper understanding of the people and places we encounter.

We strive to build strong partnerships between artists and local tourism stakeholders to improve the sustainability of local communities.
Join us and connect with fellow travellers who share your love for exploration and discovery on one of our escorted group tours or allow us to arrange your own private tour.
