National Geographic Traveller India Magazine - January - February 2022

In this issue

NGTI’s New Year's edition bundles together off beat and classic experiences for India in 2022. This year we are looking at places with a renewed perspective, in some cases celebrating what was always present, in others, discovering a new vibe that never existed before. Be it stargazing at the country's first astro village in Uttarakhand, rock climbing at the annual Suru Outdoor Festival in Ladakh or circling seedy toddy bars in Mangalore.
We've also chalked out family-friendly destinations and predicted global travel trends for the year ahead. Our latest issue goes back to the true essence of travel and is a reminder of why we love what we do.
