About Us

At Knutson Travels, we believe the most powerful journeys don’t just cross borders—they change people.
We design deeply immersive, small-group travel experiences across Asia that connect you with culture, heritage, and the human spirit.

Rooted in authenticity, elegance, and personal transformation, our tours go far beyond the typical itinerary. Whether you’re walking through ancient temples in Kyoto, learning handloom weaving in rural India, or sipping tea with elders in Chiang Mai, you’re stepping into a story—and becoming part of it.

Our Tour Experiences

  • Indulgence – for those groups/families wanting an exceptional tour experience.
  • Escorted – a cultural experience tour with 16 – 26 like minded travelers.
  • Group – tours for friends & families, with the itineraries of Escorted Tours (minimum of 4 travelers). Prices may vary based on tour selected vs Escorted.

Our Mission

To foster meaningful connections across cultures by curating soulful travel experiences that awaken wonder, deepen understanding, and honor the beauty of our world.

What Makes Us Different

Curated Cultural Immersion

We go beyond tourist spots to introduce you to artisans, historians, healers, and everyday locals who shape the cultural heartbeat of their communities.

Boutique & Intentional

Each journey is designed for intimacy—with small groups, slow-paced exploration, and intentional storytelling.

Spiritually Rooted

Influenced by sacred timing and planetary energy, our trips are designed to resonate not just with your mind, but with your spirit.

Ethical & Respectful

We partner directly with local guides, families, and businesses to ensure tourism uplifts—not extracts—from the places we visit.

Where We Travel

We currently offer immersive journeys in:

  • China

  • India

  • Japan

  • Malaysia

  • Singapore

  • Thailand

Each destination is chosen for its cultural richness, spiritual depth, and storytelling potential.

Let’s Journey Together

If you’re ready to travel deeper—into landscapes, into culture, and into yourself—Knutson Travels is your invitation.


Discover the world with presence, purpose, and beauty.
