Make the best of seasonal deals and indulge in cultural fests

Something unassuming is happening with Indian travellers. Their curiosity to explore is now armed with an intention to conserve and uphold local flavours. Be it traditional folk dance forms, sports in iconic spots or carnivals that have remained etched in time.
Around the globe, what’s attracting desi trotters is local strains of communities, their cultural fiesta, their native beliefs and the best of all their conservation of natural resources initiatives. Upcoming local fests, colours in the wild and seasonal treats have all of us excited.
