Why Vegan Travel Asia by VegVoyages?
Celebrating 20 years of vegan tours, Vegan Travel Asia by VegVoyages is a team of three close friends from different countries and backgrounds, united by their passion for people, animals, veganism, cultures, and history. Together, they create off-the-beaten-path adventures that offer guests more than just a visit to a country; they provide a deep cultural immersion and meaningful local interactions.
Vegan Travel Asia by VegVoyages focuses on connecting travelers with the local way of life, allowing them to learn and engage while enjoying a variety of delicious, 100% local vegan cuisine along the way.
With a mission to foster cultural understanding between guests and the communities they visit, Vegan Travel Asia by VegVoyages has added more passionate team members, and has grown from offering three trips in India in 2004 to organizing up to 27 vegan cultural adventure tours each year across nine countries, including Bhutan, Cambodia, India, Indonesia (Bali, Sumatra), Laos, Malaysia, Nepal, Sri Lanka, and Thailand.
Vegan Travel Asia by VegVoyages,
what is it all about?
100% Vegan Meals, 100% Vegan Tours, 100% Vegan Company! At Vegan Travel Asia by VegVoyages we believe that veganism is about much more than what we eat; it extends to how we treat other people, animals, and the planet. So, our adventures also involve volunteer work at grassroots humanitarian projects, animal rescue centers, and wildlife protection and conservation sanctuaries. We have collaborated with such organizations for years, learning from those on the frontline of protecting people, animals, and the environment.
We work to create authentic vegan travel experiences, which give you a nuanced understanding of the country, its people, traditions, culture, and cuisines. When we first contacted many of our current community partners, they had never heard of veganism. Since we began planning tours, we have worked closely with several local families and chefs to “veganize” their best recipes. From buying fresh ingredients to cooking and enjoying the vegan meals together, we make sure each dish is as close as possible to the original recipe. Vegan food is integral to each journey – we guarantee you won’t go hungry! Vegan Travel Asia by VegVoyages offers an abundance of vegan versions of local dishes made in peoples’ homes, and the opportunity to enjoy vegan feasts at local cafés and restaurants.
Vegan Travel Asia by VegVoyages adventures focus on cultural immersion, local interaction, bridging cultural gaps, making a positive impact, and eating plenty of vegan food. And even though all our adventures are 100% vegan, of course, all travelers are welcome!
Additionally, Vegan Travel Asia by VegVoyages is against animal exploitation in any form. We do not use them on our tours for expeditions, rides, or safaris. We also do not visit zoos, “wildlife parks”, aquariums, and profit-oriented “animal sanctuaries”. A founding principle of VegVoyages from the very beginning was and is to create cruelty-free travel experiences in which no living being is exploited in any way, shape, or form.
DELICIOUS, AUTHENTIC LOCAL VEGAN CUISINES!
We believe that food and drink are crucial to understanding the heritage, culture, and lifestyles of a region. On our adventures, we introduce you to the most popular dishes at the destinations you visit, as well as unique regional dishes.
Enjoy food that you won’t find on restaurant menus, including special recipes passed down in families through generations. Mouthwatering vegan cuisine that highlights the distinctive local ingredients and cooking styles of each destination complements all our adventures – all vegan, and ALL included in your tour price.
Whether visiting a popular local veggie café or enjoying the simple pleasure of a sweet mango at a roadside stall – our goal is to bring you the very best of vegan Asia!
For more details on the food served on a Vegan Travel Asia by VegVoyages tour, please see our Food page.
RESPONSIBLE TRAVEL
We travel to appreciate cultures and lifestyles that differ from our own. As such, we respect local customs and refrain from imposing our own values. Our founding philosophy focuses on responsible travel and giving back. We are keen on making tourism beneficial for our guests as well as the people and places we visit. In addition to supporting grassroots projects, we help local communities develop and implement projects and programs. We provide books, desks, and other materials to rural schools and help create village libraries. We also help sponsor and implement grassroots social welfare and relief programs, from helping support animal rescues and animal welfare initiatives to grassroots conservation programs and local community projects for women and children. We help these organizations stay afloat and get them the tools they need to continue their programs wherever possible.
For Vegan Travel Asia by VegVoyages, travel is much more than a business, but it is a way to contribute meaningfully to communities, people, animals, and other causes we believe in.
When you join a Vegan Travel Asia by VegVoyages adventure, you are helping to make a difference, as part of the cost of every one of our adventures goes directly to these groups and local communities. For more information, please visit our VegVoyages Foundation page.
EVERYDAY SOMETHING NEW
On a Vegan Travel Asia by VegVoyages tour, each day is unlike the next. You may explore an enchanting palace in an ancient Indian desert town, be personal guests of an early temple or mosque, learn about the inner workings of an old backwater trading outpost, or visit one of the oldest environmentalist communities in the world. One day, you might venture out on safari to catch a glimpse of the last remaining Asiatic lions or endangered Asian elephants in the wild learning about their struggle from those on the frontline to save them. On another, you may brave the volcanic highlands of Sumatra, or go hiking in a lush rainforest and learn about the plight of the orangutans. You might explore the marine life around uninhabited tropical islands with those fighting to preserve them, or help out at local grassroots community-based organizations and education programs. On every adventure, you’ll also learn firsthand how to cook the vegan versions of local delicacies! With a Vegan Travel Asia by VegVoyages tour, every day is unlike the next, and every day is an adventure!
VALUE – THERE ARE NO HIDDEN CHARGES!
THERE ARE NO HIDDEN CHARGES! You’ll often spend less on a Vegan Travel Asia by VegVoyages adventure than if you traveled the same route (at a similar standard), and bought food and drinks on your own. We supply all meals, water and even have many special “festivity nights” – where in addition to dinner, we provide alcoholic drinks, juice, snacks, and live music at no extra cost. We cover all entrance fees, guide fees, entertainment, and activities (yoga, tai chi, trekking, kayaking, island hopping, snorkeling, desert safaris, cooking classes, biking, dance workshops, and daily language and cultural lessons) at the price of our adventures.
SELECT DESTINATIONS
Your experience is important to us! We travel to places where we have personally lived and/or worked for many years (and in some destinations like India, Nepal, and Indonesia – most of our lives), and are committed to offering you a personal and unique journey in the places we call home. We realize that most people don’t have the luxury of time to take many holidays, so we believe the ones you do should be memorable, comfortable, hassle-free, and fun!
