In this issue

While the world's north, with its shiny New Yorks and Viennas, has always been a traveller's dream, this issue of National Geographic Traveller India brings you colourful, less-explored accounts from a few Global South countries: A true-blue local experience in Sri Lanka's Jaffna, losing count of time in Lamu Island, Kenya, and falling for the fiery flamboyance of Colombia. Elsewhere, chef and YouTube star Babish divulges his real-life food favourites, and a trip to one of America's most spectacular open-air art museums.
