Who we work with

Two ways to work with Farbound.

For travel advisors & retail agents

Sell South Asia without building the supply chain.

You keep the client. Farbound designs, costs and operates the trip under your agency name.

The lifetime commission
You earn on the client, not just the booking.

Any traveller you introduce stays yours. If they come back to us directly — years later, without you in the loop — the commission still goes to you, tracked in the portal.

10–15% commission
Tracked in the portal from confirmation through payout.
Proposals in 24–48 hours
Client-ready, priced, seasonally correct.
White-label documents
Your logo, colours and voice. Configured once.
Your client, protected
Farbound never markets or sells to your travellers.
No booking minimums. No platform fee. One portal for enquiries, itineraries, payouts.
For tour operators & wholesalers

A ground operator you can build into your programme.

Confidential net rates, contracted hotels and complete FIT or group handling across four countries.

Same-day indicative
A costed answer before the enquiry cools.

Farbound's pricing desk returns a realistic ballpark within hours. The final costed proposal follows in 24 to 48. You keep control of product, margin and distribution.

Confidential net rates
Supplied to approved partners. Never shown to the traveller.
Hotel contracting
Boutique, heritage, premium and five-star inventory.
Complete ground handling
Transfers, vehicles, local guides, senior Tour Directors.
One named coordinator
Per booking. Reports to your team, not to your traveller.
Choose the model per booking. Retail files can be commissionable while operator files run on net rates.
The partner workspace

One place for enquiries, itineraries and payouts.

Your free Farbound workspace keeps every brief, quote, confirmation and commission payout in one thread — no platform fee, whether you're on net rates or commission.

Live status on every brief you've sent
Co-branded itineraries, ready to forward
Commission and payout tracking in one place
One thread per client — no lost email chains
Co-branded itineraries

Your name on the proposal. Ours on the ground.

Every itinerary and pricing document goes out under your agency's name alongside ours — your client keeps their relationship with you, and knows exactly who is answering the phone in-country.

What we handle

Four countries. One operating relationship.

Farbound operates through its own on-ground teams across India, Nepal and Bhutan, with ground operations in Sri Lanka. Each booking has one coordinator, one commercial record and one team responsible for the trip as it runs.

From brief to client-ready proposal.

Farbound returns indicative pricing the same working day and a final costed proposal in 24-48 hours once the core brief is complete.

We operate. You keep the client.

Trade questions

What partners ask before the first brief.

What advisors and operators ask before they send us a first brief.

How quickly do you quote?
Same-day indicative pricing; a costed proposal in 24–48 hours once the brief is complete. Complex groups or festival dates may need longer, always communicated upfront.
What commission do you pay?
Advisors: 10–15% per booking, portal-tracked. Operators can request confidential net rates instead. You can mix models by booking.
How does the lifetime commission work?
A traveller you introduce stays linked to your account. If they book with us again directly — without you in the loop — the commission still goes to you.
Do you protect our client relationship?
Yes. Farbound never markets or sells to your clients. Guides speak to travellers during the trip because operating requires it; the commercial relationship stays yours.
Which countries do you cover?
India, Nepal, Bhutan and Sri Lanka. On-ground teams in the first three; ground operations in Sri Lanka.
FIT and groups both?
Yes. Private FIT is the core format. Small groups get the same discipline, with a senior Tour Director where route and size need one.
White-label documents?
Yes, for approved partners. Proposals and client documents use your logo and colours once configured.
Any platform fees?
No. The portal is free for approved partners — enquiries, itineraries, confirmations, payouts.
