Antarctica, North Pole: India's elderly take to extreme travels

Senior citizens are willing to travel either by themselves or in small groups with other senior citizens to explore the northern lights at the North Pole or go on a journey to the Antarctica.

For KareVoyage, a travel platform that caters to the needs of travellers over 50, senior citizen travel is growing 17 per cent year-on-year (Y-o-Y) while its outbound senior travel numbers have trebled between March 2021 and March 2024.

"The outbound travel market for Indian senior citizens is undergoing a remarkable transformation, with a projected 193 per cent growth for those aged 65 and above by 2025," said Shefali Mishra, founder, KareVoyage.
