Even as we hunker down and stay home and stay safe, there's no need to give up travel entirely. At least, not while these stunning virtual tours from around the world are on offer. Also in the issue: a drive through Arunachal Pradesh, a walk in Scotland, and Nepal's Thakali trail across the remote and dreamy Mustang Valley.  

 

This issue, while your travel plans may well be on hold, we keep you inspired with stories from North Kerala, Himachal Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and the little-known Ajodhya Hills of Purulia in West Bengal. There's also a day trip to Kyoto. Armchair travel was never better.

This issue, we look at India with new eyes, taking on old destinations and revealing their new, hitherto-unknown facets. There's Agra beyond the Taj, the unique story of the white tigers of Rewa, an eco-village near Srinagar, and Goa's best standalone restaurants. Enjoy! 


This issue returns to the hills with a tranquil holiday in Mukteshwar, the challenging Great Lakes Trek in Kashmir, the Namsai Pagoda and its surrounds in Arunachal Pradesh and a special listicle on the hills of south India. 

 

 

As travel picks up, Outlook Traveller's February 2021 issue comes packed with a bunch of short, weekend getaways near you. So you can travel safely with your loved ones. Lots of other interesting travel stories besides.

The first Outlook Traveller issue of 2021 begins the year on a note of hope. We predict travel trends for the year, take quiet breaks in BInsar and Pangot, go trekking up to high-altitude lakes in Kashmir and dip into Colaba's riveting past. Here's hoping 2021 is a year of deep, immersive travel.  

 The pandemic has completely changed the realities of travel. The road to recovery is surely a long one. This month we've got industry leaders spilling the beans on how the world of travel will change post the containment of the virus. Read on to know more about what the experts have to say and to join team OT in their tryst with the Awadhi legacy, the gardens of Delhi, and ever-popular Goa.

This month's issue is your ticket to spectacular wildlife and breathtaking habitats. Show some love to the birds and beasts of India as we tell you where all the wilderness thrives. While an exciting safari and a trek await you in Karnataka and Kashmir, respectively, the varied hues of the Mojave Desert are perfect for an outdoor adventure. Here's Team OT bringing you the best from the wild side.

Long road journeys are on the itinerary this month as states are offering the best of their nature, heritage, and cuisine to tourists. We cover a bus journey from Delhi to London, explore Lucknow's Hazratganj, and take you on a spiritual escape through Ganpatipule. Trek up the Taktsang Monastery in Bhutan and meet intrepid travellers on your journey through Hampi. Join us in Alila Bishangarh, and have a bite of traditional Gujarati Undhiyu along the way. We have some books lined up for your relaxing rendezvous, and a roadtrip checklist to make sure you're all set on this India-trotting trip!


This month we're exploring our cities, and more specifically, our neighbourhoods. Take a whole new look at Delhi's history, Kolkata's heritage, and what it means to be a true Hyderabadi. We have some local getaways lined up for you, and get up close and personal with JW Marriott Juhu's Sharad Puri, and Guppy's Vikram Khatri. Take a deep dive into Keoladeo National Park, and other hidden places around the world with Sarah Baxter. Our team has curated some safe travel gear for you, along with a little glimpse into colonial Calcutta. Come join us in our micro adventures!

As states reopen for tourism, we follow along the new guidelines in this issue. Join us on an adventure through the farmlands of Hoshiarpur, rediscover the royal heritage of Kota, take in the scenic vistas of Sikkim, and fall in love with Puducherry. We have experts all around with Kumar Shobhan spilling the beans on Hyatt Regency Kolkata, and Suvir Saran documenting his journey from New York to New Delhi. A new design and a whole new outlook on travel this time around.
