The Outlook Traveller Getaway to Unexplored India, with over a 100 destinations, is a tribute to destinations that are not on the usual tourist itinerary. The theme of this title is discovery of hitherto unchartered territory – mapping the small town, its bazaars, its kasbahs, its rituals and customs – and present these details to readers willing to explore the India that is unpretentious.
In a country as diverse and geographically vast as India, there are still areas that have not yet realised their true tourism potential. These places are either mentioned in passing or not talked about at all, and our endeavour is to highlight each of these sites as a destination in itself so that travellers brave and willing to explore them will find an enlightening companion to help them get a first taste of unexplored India.
