Travel+Leisure India Magazine - January 2021

In this issue

2021 is here and so is our resolution for the new year: #DiscoverTheUndiscovered. Kickstart with our list of 21 lesser-known destinations--within India and air bubbles--that include treasures like Orchha in Madhya Pradesh and Umbria in Italy. You'll also find cues in tales from France's Loire Valley, the alleyways of Harar in Ethiopia, the local culture of Bermuda, and the wild landscapes of Yorkshire. On our January cover are millennial princesses Mrinalika and Akshita Bhanj Deo, who are putting Odisha's Mayurbhanj on the world map with their home turned heritage hotel, The Belgadia Palace. We offer insight into the royal heritage of two more regions; think a regal nikah in Rampur and an appetising trail in Rewa. Don't miss out on a visual journey through Morocco—a rich palette of landscapes, colours, and experiences—which is a sight for sore eyes.
