Our December edition gears up for travel plans in #2020. Seventeen of National Geographic Travel's international desks have handpicked 25 global destinations including Tasmania, Fort Kochi and Spain. Closer home, our team at NGTI have offered 62 alternatives to touristy hotspots in India. Whether it is rafting in Pancheshwar, hiking in Yurutse or sustainable living in West Bengal, travel differently in the year ahead.

Our year-ender issue packs a forward-looking list of global destinations framed by five categories: community, nature, culture, family, and adventure. The places, irrespective of their geographical positioning on the world map, make a compelling case for a visit in 2023. Go birdwatching on a family holiday in Colombia, hike a network of the Austrian alps’ most charming villages, or ride the K-pop wave through Busan in South Korea—the world awaits for those curious to explore. Closer home, travel inspiration beckoned us to take an immersive look at the new Trans Bhutan Trail and discover paths less taken in Darjeeling.

Our adventure issue packs scintillating long-distance thru-hikes to conquer in the post-pandemic era, a comprehensive guide to the Camino de Santiago, thrill-seeking in South Africa and much more. We also bring you seven luxurious-getaway packages from the seas, sands, and shores of the Maldives. 

The environmental ramifications of climate change are fast approaching irreversible proportions. In a thought-provoking conversation for the July-August edition, writer Amitav Ghosh assesses the escalating crisis and its connection to our carbon-loving, travel-embracing lifestyles. In another special spotlight feature for India's 75th Independence Day, we map 60 mindful trips across this great nation, including remote holidays in Turtuk, luxury stays in Shimla, and elusive wildlife in Ranthambore. From across the world, a special photo essay brings to life everyday Cuba and a bucket list journey navigates Sydney through its locals.

Our food issue is a delicious medley of stories, where hyperlocal cuisines and rich ingredients marry the craft of slow cooking. In the hills of Uttarakhand, Kumaoni flavours are brought to life with a locavore approach. In Maharashtra, a foraging experience limelights sustainable food practices of local indegenious communities. In Australia, farmers are transforming Southern Tasmania's Huon Valley into an agricultural hub. Also read veteran chef Michael Swamy's essay on why slow cooking with fresh ingredients is a tradition to be savoured.

Our latest issue is a medley of stories from places far and wild. It chases answers to urgent concerns around conservation and travel—including the translocation of African cheetahs to India, the impact of conservation programmes on native communities, and observing wildlife up close in ways that are actually responsible. Also in the edition, are tales from Sri Lanka's northern shore, sagas from Switzerland, and an interview with Santhosh Kumar, who rode a purpose-built motorcycle across the continent of Antarctica.

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. 

Our year-ender issue is a hopeful and fleshed out insight into travel in 2022. We bring you the planet’s 25 most exciting, forward-looking destinations spanning five categories—Adventure, Culture and History, Nature, Family, Sustainability—handpicked by National Geographic's global editors. So, dust off your planner and chalk out your itineraries: Go shark diving in Palau, find the flip side to an anime-filled Japan in Hokkaido, or grab front-row seats to tropical wildlife in Belize—there's something in store for every traveller. And that's not all. We've sunk our teeth into 10 global vegan hotspots, curated a shopping guide for your next trip to Leh and have an exclusive interview with mountaineer and geologist Jim Davidson. NGTI's final edition of 2021 is a celebration of the year that was and the year that will be.

Our latest NGTI issue is an ode to the roads—familiar and lesser known. We've got a couple's account of driving through rain and shine in Slovenia, a traveller's tale of traversing Arunachal Pradesh's highways, and an exhaustive guide of 9 campervan circuits that you can undertake across India. This edition also maps Philadelphia's artistic soul, and bundles an exclusive interview with Laurie Woolever—the late Anthony Bourdain's close associate and the co-author of his last book, World Travel: An Irreverent Guide. 

While the world's north, with its shiny New Yorks and Viennas, has always been a traveller's dream, this issue of National Geographic Traveller India brings you colourful, less-explored accounts from a few Global South countries: A true-blue local experience in Sri Lanka's Jaffna, losing count of time in Lamu Island, Kenya, and falling for the fiery flamboyance of Colombia. Elsewhere, chef and YouTube star Babish divulges his real-life food favourites, and a trip to one of America's most spectacular open-air art museums.          

NGTI's next edition is a gastronomic fiesta of flavours. Get your appetite racing with 10 lip-smacking chutneys from across India, chase down a food truck trail in Goa, and devour rustic Sicilian fares straight from the heart of Italy—our food issue will take you on a culinary pilgrimage far and wide even when your feet can't travel. Also in the magazine is a budget guide to Dubai, a profile on indie favourite Jim Sarbh, and an epic search for Beowulf that takes a writer to Denmark. 

National Geographic Traveller India's March-April issue is a thrilling double edition on wildlife. For this issue’s marquee cover story, we  bring you an in-depth exploration of the remote sky islands in Western Ghats, led by NG Explorer Prasenjeet Yadav. For the first time ever, our cover shot (of the fiercely majestic lion-tailed macaque) has been captured with a mobile phone video snap. Also in the magazine: off-grid birding in India, a budget vacation in Singapore, a history of the martini and a sustainable guide to Bhutan.

With destinations contemplating leeway for hopeful future travellers, our February issue shines a light on travel tales in waiting. Sri Lanka beckons watersports enthusiasts with an array of oceanic adventures, where one can whale-watch, snorkel, dive, couch cruise and more. And if the coast's cyan waters don't quench your thirst, Colombo's dive bars will. Also in the magazine: a feature on restaurants to visit in a post-pandemic world, a 48-hour guide to Kigali, and an essay on how swimming became a favourite pastime in Ireland's seaside suburb of Salthill.

With the new year comes a renewed sense of hope for travel. For NGTI's January issue, we serve you a generous portion of food and friendship, as two pals hop onto a barbecue trail across 10 American states—from Texas to New York and back—amid a pandemic and a tumultuous presidential election season. Also in the issue: an interview with cricket legend Brett Lee, a hotel review of Odisha's Belgadia Palace, and a feature on global flavours permeating Kolkata's home kitchens.

As we inch towards another new year, fresh lessons from the old one follow us into it. Our December issue attempts to map how we can travel better in 2021. Journeying to revive the cottage art of Chhau mask making in West Bengal's Purulia, or ethically navigating the wilderness of Madhya Pradesh's Panna, the only way to move forward, is gently. Also in the edition is a feature on drone photography, a digital catalogue of Oman's cultural highlights, and an interview with Indian-American food writer Priya Krishna.

It's the time of the year to be merry, and plan for a merrier travel future. Whether this year quashed your adventurer's soul, or kept you from exploring a cultural bucket list, there's always 2021 to fix it. For our November issue, the global editions of NGT bring to you 25 timely tales of timeless places that will define your future itineraries. Head to Alonissos, Greece's Mediterranean haven for seals—and a deep dive into ancient shipwrecks. Or turn to Tulsa in Oklahoma—a hub for discussion on race in the US. These superlative destinations speak of resilient communities, smart sustainability efforts, and unforgettable experiences for post-pandemic explorations. Plan now, and travel (sooner than) later! Also in the issue: an interview with fitness enthusiast Milind Soman, travel skills that will come in handy for future journeys, and a feature on why Edinburgh's streets have become pedestrian-only zones. 

Travel is a gift that keeps giving and for our 100th issue special, we asked diverse travellers to share 100 experiences that best exemplify their reason for being wayfarers. From travelling for sublime food, to making serendipitous friendships, from hunting for edgy escapes to journeys for the love of family, our October magazine is packed with stories spanning the globe—Antarctica to Kanyakumari. Read on and let your fellow-travellers remind you of the joys that await you beyond the dark lane of a pandemic. Also in the issue: an interview with renowned photojournalist Chris Burkard.

As coronavirus lockdowns started to ease up in Europe, travellers slowly, and cautiously, revisited summer sojourns. In our September issue, we bring to you seven tales from Greece, Hungary, Germany, Slovenia, Poland, France, Italy and Switzerland. Also in the issue: Shantanu Moitra's stories of music and travel, a deep-dive into Mangalorean food, a freedom trail across India, and two bikers' expedition through Vietnam.  

Our August 2020 edition's cover story celebrates a Singapore tourists rarely see: a pastel-hued, nostalgia-filled city captured by its young community of film photographers on Instagram. Other notable features trace Sweden's history through its women, a Shantaram-themed walk in Mumbai, and an artist's creative awakening in the Caribbean islands of St. Vincent and the Grenadines.

For NGTI's eighth anniversary issue, we bring to you hometown secrets from across the country, shared with us by longtime residents--explore nooks and crannies of Mumbai, Hyderabad, Fort Kochi, Shillong, Agra, and more. Also in the issue, pandemic travel conversations with veteran actor Pankaj Tripathi and chef Kiran Jethwa, and bucket list journeys to Guatemala and Nepal. 

The face of travel is changing indefinitely. The rules are volatile and the territories uncharted. What does it mean for the globetrotting community going forward? NGTI's June edition hopes to brace for the future. We bring to you stories of resilience from six guides whose lives have been upended by the pandemic, a global list of countries reopening and travel restrictions, advice from experts on the safety of travel, and what the future of Agra's beloved Taj Mahal is. Plan ahead and chalk out bucket list trips to Austria and Chile; or drift through Federico Fellini's Rome. We also have interviews with Jacqui Kenny, an agoraphobic photographer navigating the world on Google Street View, and Ankur Tewari, the musician whose travel tales are just as soulful as his songs.

In a world-filled with lockdown restrictions, NGTI looks to the future in the May issue. We look at life in South Korea after the lockdown has eased, and have planned 59 trips the Indian traveller can take in a post-pandemic world, including 29 motorbike trails spanning the length and breadth of India, 19 hotels for a soothing staycation ranging from Jaipur to Chennai, and 11 healing holidays to hidden haunts in Sikkim, Odisha, Maharashtra, Kerala, Himachal Pradesh and more. To ease the blues for those stuck at home, we have interesting global toast recipes, a brewing romance in Cuba, poetic journeys in Azerbaijan, and an interview with author Rajat Ubhaykar, who hitchhiked across India in trucks.

An unprecedented crisis has brought travel to a complete standstill. But in these trying times, we can offer some respite. For our April edition, we bring you an armchair travel list of the best live streams from around the world. Looking ahead to a future where we are all happy travellers again, you can bookmark a thrilling guide to Athens, a volcano trek in deep Congo,  an adventure escape to the little-explored Meghalaya, an art spin through cool Melbourne and a rollicking account of a writer's bar-hop through Japan's Shinjuku district. Travel may be on hold, but there are plenty of dream journeys to keep you going.

For NGTI's March edition, we bring to you the best of global summer. In India, start with polo matches in Leh, quad biking in Corbett, or sip on a lagoon-tempered sun in Kochi’s backwaters. Travel overseas, and go hunting for Jamaica's warm blues, or hike sunny trails in Serbia. Also in the issue are tales of a Kathak dancer's tryst with flamenco in Spain.

The beaches might be summer-ready, but who can resist the woods winking with the secrets of wildlife? In NGTI's February issue, we revisit the primal delight of responsibly encountering the untamed—both on land and underwater—in India as recommended by experts; an aerial photoessay of the wildebeest migration in Masaai Mara; and a volunteer programme to save the olive ridleys in The Maldives. Also in the issue: an exclusive interview with the rock band, Indian Ocean.

On the brink of this new decade, many suffer the fatigue of a fast-changing travel landscape. Shunning showbiz travel, National Geographic Traveller India's January edition keeps 2020 simple. Painted towns in #Uzbekistan, summer frolic in Finland and a hike through Utah's Arches National Park—here are some soulful experiences we vouch for. Also in the issue is screenwriter Varun Grover's insider guide to Benaras.

In our November edition, we chase the world of water. From riding monster waves in Canada’s Bay of Fundy and trekking along the Amazon river in Peru, to kicking back in the Canary Islands, this issue is about staying with the blues. Also in the magazine: Amitav Ghosh on journeys of a lifetime, and a remembrance of the Fall of the Berlin Wall.

Our October issue is for the lovers of winter—those who'd dare ice climbing along Spiti’s frozen waterfalls and cliffs, explore Åland Islands in sub-zero temperatures, and feast on nippy-weather food in Kolkata. For others who'd like to escape to warmer climes, there are the sultry charms of Sri Lanka and Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Also in the magazine: a special feature on 21 iconic female travellers who defied convention and opened up the world for all.

NGTI's September issue is an ode to five lively cities. A writer digs into the historic past of Turku, Finland's oldest city, while another samples Kuala Lumpur’s inimitable heritage food joints. Our urban edition also profiles New York’s swanky Hudson Yards, Belfast’s rebellious soul and chronicles the legacy of Bauhaus architecture in Tel Aviv.

NGTI's August edition is an ode to the Great Outdoors. This issue is a testament to how faraway mountains, hidden islands, sweeping canyons continue to draw adventure enthusiasts from far and wide. Drink the magic blues of Fiji, or shadow penguins in New Zealand. Ski down egg-white slopes in Lake Tahoe or retrace a 10-day road trip in fantastical Iceland, you will find that the outdoors will surprise you. Also in the magazine: a love affair with art in Paris.
