Missed on all those barrels of laughs in 2020 crises? Well, 2021 is different. It has brought in a glimmer of hope and finally, we could have the time of our lives making travel plans and coming out of our quarantine cocoons. However, we still need to address the elephant in the room, the pandemic and have to take adequate precautions. While you are planning to blow away the cobwebs through travel, here we have jotted the top trends for you.

CARAVANING

Let yourself footloose and fancy-free with Caravanning! In post-pandemic times people are hitting roads and ditching public modes of travel be it airways or railways. Caravanning has emerged to be a popular trend as it is cost-effective and a socially distant way to travel where you are not in touch with the swarm of unknown tourists. One can take caravans on rent and choose from a gamut of options that come in design and seating capacity. Traveller Ankita Kumar, who started with Caravan Chronicles with a friend, took a 20-year-old Matador and converted it into a caravan. Their bubbly Caravan travelled across 14 states mapping Kerala to Himachal for over 100 days. This could be one of the key trends for this year.
