Outbound International Magazine - February 2026

In this issue

In this February edition, we invite our readers to journey beyond the familiar and discover destinations that blend nature, culture and immersive experiences. Our cover story, “Beyond the Map: Assam & Meghalaya,” takes you deep into Northeast India’s untouched landscapes, living root bridges, misty hills and cultural richness that continue to inspire conscious travellers seeking authenticity. The second lead story shifts focus to Uttarakhand’s serene mountain escapes — Auli, Kanatal, Chaukori and Munsiyari — each offering a unique blend of Himalayan beauty, adventure and tranquillity, making them ideal for travellers looking to reconnect with nature away from crowded hotspots. Continuing the theme of sustainable and meaningful travel, our special feature on Green Tamil Nadu – Hills, Tea and Tribal Trails explores the lesser-known eco-destinations of the state, highlighting scenic hill regions, tea estates and indigenous communities that preserve traditions while embracing responsible tourism. Together, these stories celebrate India’s diverse natural heritage and encourage travellers to step beyond the usual routes, fostering a deeper connection with places, people and culture.
