Two Worlds — Kerala & New Zealand

About Us

Welcome to Universal Travel & Tour

We are a small, community-focused travel company started by a Keralite who now calls New Zealand home. Our work is simple: connect curious travellers with local hosts, meaningful stories, and places that matter — from Kerala’s backwaters and spice markets to Aotearoa’s fjords and Māori cultural encounters.

Every itinerary is crafted to respect local traditions and support communities. We prioritise gentle travel — small groups, authentic homestays, and experiences that leave a positive footprint on the places we visit.
