The person behind NorthNest
I’m Chander Sharma. Teaching has been a big part of my life, while travel has helped me see beyond the familiar. NorthNest Holidays brings those two sides together: understanding people, thinking through the details, and helping create journeys that feel right for the people taking them.
In the classroom, no two students learn in exactly the same way. You learn to listen first, understand the person in front of you, and find the approach that works for them. I believe travel deserves that same personal attention.
It is not only the places you visit. It is the unexpected view, the conversations along the way, the quiet between destinations, and the stories you carry home. Those moments changed how I look at travel.
I started NorthNest Holidays because planning a holiday should feel personal, not transactional. It should begin with listening, clear advice and a plan shaped around the people taking the trip—not simply a package waiting to be sold.
Different places.
A deeper you.
A few moments from my travels
These photographs are personal reminders of why I keep exploring—and why no two travellers should be handed the same story.
Higher altitudes, clearer thoughts
Some views have a way of putting everyday things into perspective.
The quiet between destinations
Sometimes the best part is standing still long enough to take it all in.
There is always another road
The open road is a reminder of how much is still out there.
What I bring to NorthNest
Curiosity, patience and the habit of listening.
A belief that there is always more to discover.
Turning many moving parts into a clearer journey.
Helping people understand their options without pressure.
Building a company people can return to and recommend.
The NorthNest promise
Not a standard itinerary with your name on it. A journey shaped around your people, priorities and the memories you want to make.
The occasion, the people, the pace and the budget should shape the trip—not the other way around.
Options, inclusions and practical details should be explained honestly, so you can decide with confidence.
The right stay, sensible timings and thoughtful arrangements often make the difference between a trip that works and one that feels right.
The NorthNest standard
Thoughtful planning. Clear choices. Journeys that feel personal.
What we can help you plan
A family break, a honeymoon, a trip with friends or a long-awaited escape all have different priorities. We help bring the pieces together around the experience you want from it.
Journeys shaped around your dates, interests, budget and the way you like to travel.
Thoughtful plans for time together, special occasions and milestones worth remembering.
Shared experiences with the itinerary and practical arrangements considered together.
Help exploring accommodation and the details that bring a journey together.
A clear, collaborative process
Share your occasion, dates, budget and what would make this trip feel right.
Explore suitable options, ask questions and refine the details together.
Understand what has been arranged and what to expect before setting off.
The company we are building
NorthNest Holidays is being built around a simple belief: travel planning should make people feel more confident, not more overwhelmed. Every traveller should have room to ask questions, compare options and choose what genuinely fits.
My ambition is bigger than running a business around individual bookings. I want to grow a trusted travel company—with a capable team, lasting partnerships and a reputation earned through consistency. A company people feel comfortable returning to, recommending, and growing with.
Your Next Story
Maybe it's a mountain you've never seen. A beach you've always wanted to wake up beside. A city you've been dreaming about. Or simply a few days away with the people who matter.
Whatever it is, let's make the journey worth remembering.
