Why this trip exists
One person. One obsession. Getting this exactly right.
I started The Dozen Collective because the trip I wanted didn’t exist — small, genuinely curated, led by someone who actually cares whether you have the time of your life. So I’m building this one the way I’d want it: scouting every stay, planning every transfer, and personally choosing the eleven people you’ll travel with.
I’ll be there the whole way, start to finish. This isn’t a tour I’m selling — it’s twelve days I’m pouring myself into.
— Akshat
Founding departure — be one of the first twelve.
