Silence of the Lands
The Morning Standard
|March 09, 2025
Large groups and camper vans are no longer part of the travel plan. Travellers are cutting the clutter and choosing to 'stay silent'
Along weekend is approaching, and your WhatsApp group is already buzzing with destination ideas: a peaceful stay in Rajasthan's Bundi, known for its historic stepwells; a slow stargazing night near Raj Gunda Valley in Himachal; or a silent retreat in a remote village of Dharamshala. Sounds familiar? That's 'silent travel' a growing trend, especially among Gen Z travellers.
As the world grows louder, silence is having its moment.
More travellers are trading bustling hotspots and chaotic tourist destinations for the soothing stillness of silent sanctuaries. This emerging trend-dubbed "silent tourism" isn't just a new way to travel; it reflects a lifestyle shift that prioritises inner peace over external stimulation.
"Many travellers now seek destinations that offer peace, natural beauty, and a slower pace of life. Silent tourism aligns with a broader wellness movement, emphasising mental clarity and the healing power of solitude," says Chhavi Chadha, founder of Bespoke Tailormade Experiences.
The Rise of Silent Luxury Travel once synonymous
Travel, once synonymous with indulgence lavish hotels, fine dining, and adventurepacked itineraries—is undergoing a 'silent' transformation.
"There's a growing desire for mindfulness and respite in a world that feels constantly connected and overstimulated," says Chadha. In an era where even vacations are often dictated by social media updates, silence offers something rare: the chance to pause.
