Luxury, heritage and experiences shaping India’s travel story
India’s travel landscape is evolving as luxury, experiential travel and cultural discovery reshape the way travellers explore the country.
In the July-September 2026 issue of India & You, we explore the changing face of luxury hospitality and the growing demand for destination-led experiences, from the mountains and indigenous cultures of Arunachal Pradesh to the dramatic landscapes and adventure of Ladakh that are intrinsic elements of a motorbike tour of the region.
While we examine the stupefying growth in luxury hospitality, we also look at the rapid rise of custom-built accommodation for senior living catering to the burgeoning senior population in the country. And we profile a dedicated convention hotel in the National Capital Region.
In culture, we look at the worrying decline of Urdu language and what its decline means for the country’s linguistic diversity and heritage.
