Outlook Traveller - April 2020

In this issue

As the world presses pause, we come out with our first e-edition in 19 years. Ominous but realistic, our photo story, 'Travel in the Time of Corona', is how we make sense of the loss of our nomadic world. For now, at least. The usual news and reviews have chugged along, with riveting journeys to the likes of Meghalaya, Orchha, Baku and Lakshadweep for company. A heartfelt tribute to Indian-origin chef Floyd Cardoz, and tête-à-tête with an eco-travel giant, outline the pandemic's unshakeable presence on our futures. Stay safe, until we meet again.
