The Covid-19 pandemic has completely changed our world, possibly forever. While the pandemic has done lots of harm, it has also led to many innovations and certain new ways of living. As we have all experienced, Covid-19 unleashed a Corona confinement on us, which in turn has given birth to a great desire to get away and break free. But as the pandemic has not gone away entirely, there is also a requirement for holidays with proper social distancing.
Unfortunately, social distancing is not possible in planes, trains, buses, hotels and restaurants and this has resulted in an increasing interest in caravans, campers, and other such homes on wheels. Yes camper-van tourism has finally arrived in India and lots of folk are now going on driving holidays into the wilderness and staying and sleeping in their private homes on wheels. Many organisations have also begun offering such vacations on wheels, and some people are even buying and getting their own made to order camper-vans: from specialist custom builders. The caravan lifestyle that is so popular in the western world may have come late to India, but now it's racing ahead with full speed.
The availability and range of such homes on wheels is also mounting with each passing day and we at Business Traveller India have dug deep and handpicked our favourite five campers. While doing so we have tried to make the most diverse choices, and selected five campers that deliver a vast bouquet of varied experiences. So here are our favourite five campers, in no order of preference.
LUXE CAMPER
Bengaluru based startup Camper-van Camps and Holidays India, has introduced the Luxe Camper. Presently they offer vacations on wheels in Karnataka and the Founder Tiger Ramesh says his aim is to provide travellers the opportunity to deep dive into unexplored destinations by personalising their travel trails and activities.
