While it is tempting to start planning future travel plans rather than just dwelling over the unsuccessful travel resolutions, it’s important to keep a few things in mind! It’s been said that it’s not where you travel but how you travel that’s important, and it’s more important now than ever in the current environment. After months of backlash against tourists and over tourism, the current situation has given us an unprecedented chance for improvement. Local holidays are back on the agenda! And that’s awesome news, because some of us were starting to go a tad stir crazy. So, we know many of us are keen to get away. But how does travel work in the post-lockdown world? Can we still have amazing holidays that are healthy, safe and responsible? However good you are at travelling, there are always ways to be a better traveler.

(1) Research before you go

Ensure that you’re well researched about your destination well in advance to find out about their cuisine, food, culture, etc so that you’re not in for a shock when you reach. Understanding the customs and laws of the city you are visiting can make the experience safer and ultimately more enjoyable. It’s also a good idea to check out your planned destination’s tourism, council and social media sites as well to make sure they’re welcoming visitors. Most destinations are but it’s good to double check.

(2) Travel off season

Over the past few years, lots of destinations have seen incredible overcrowding during the peak season. So, instead of travelling to places in peak periods, travel off-season when these places are often more relaxed and the local infrastructure is not overstretched. This helps you travel without any worries so that you can simply relax and rejuvenate.

(3) Travel to lesser visited places

If you are really craving to travel, explore a new and less visited place. This is one way to travel responsibly while also ensuring that you are safe and hence allowing you to travel at ease.

(4) Go local and engage more

Spend some time in local parks and gardens and interact with locals for a better travel experience. You’ll get the chance to meet lots of new people who would be more than willing to give you tips on what to do, see, or eat locally. Additionally, try to stay in apartment rentals, holiday houses and villa rentals, so you can give back more to the communities you’re spending time in.

(5) Learn things and experience more

When you get to spend more time at a place, you will have the chance to learn and experience lots of amazing things. Whether it’s a local street food tour, a cooking class, or even learning diving or dance, there is nothing like learning a new skill that your destination is known for. You will gain a unique insight into the local life while getting the most unique souvenir there is. Sure, there might be a few bumps along the way as we all get used to the new ways of doing things. But if we keep our plans flexible and go with the flow, we’re still going to have amazing, once-in-a-lifetime holidays. The precious memories we make ourselves, even close to home and without breaking the bank.

(6) Travel Slow

One of the easiest ways to be a better traveller is to travel slow. What it means is to be more aware of your surroundings when you travel, to spend more time at each place, and to soak in the local culture and community. By doing this, you will get to burrow underneath the skin of a place, and enjoy a deeper experience.

(7) Look for more meaningful experiences with family and friends

We have all endured several months in lockdown, often separated from children and grandchildren and missing out on birthdays, anniversaries, and even new arrivals. It is now time to gather the family together somewhere beautiful, and properly enjoy time together chatting over wonderful lunches outside, fuelled by obscene quantities of Whispering Angel, and dinners that linger long into the night.

(8) Consider staying at resorts with limited rooms/villas

Hotels with villas are perfect for those looking for seclusion while having access to the facilities and benefits of staying in a top hotel. We recommend Trees & Tigers! Situated in Rajasthan, Trees & Tigers is a luxury boutique resort surrounded by unbound nature, spectacular wildlife, and picturesque Aravalli Mountains. It is well rounded in terms of indoor & outdoor activities, multicuisine restaurants, modern rooms, and more. The resort prides itself by not confining its guests to hotel rooms but rather have personal cottages, each combined with its personal courtyard and private machaan to absorb nature to its fullest.

(9) Make it count with a trip of a lifetime

As travel has been grounded in lockdown, many of us are dreaming of that first trip away – to re-connect with loved ones, have a much needed break, celebrate a missed milestone birthday or anniversary, or finally take that honeymoon that had to be postponed.

(10) Book into a luxurious villa in splendid isolation

For me, luxury private villas are always a great choice for a holiday. They offer privacy, flexibility, home comforts, and bags of space, all aspects that take on even greater significance when planning your first post-lockdown escape.

(11) Choose a hotel with robust wellbeing measures

At a time when health and safety greatly influences decisions on whether to travel and where to stay, holidaymakers will have more peace of mind by opting for hotels with robust measures in place. Certification of these measures by an independent third party will also help give guests confidence that they have made the right choice. Choosing a holiday today is much more than outstanding service and an incredible beach, pool and dining scene, it’s feeling comfortable that the place you choose to stay takes your wellbeing as seriously as you do

(12) Try to travel closer to home

Once the lock-down is relaxed in your home country, you could start thinking about staycations that are within driving distance. If you forgo public transport and drive yourself to your destination, you will come into contact with fewer people and will feel safer as you ease yourself back into travelling. Once routes reopen between countries, you could start planning short breaks to countries close to home, focusing on destinations where you could get home quickly if you needed to.

Responsible travel is about being more ethical and sustainable in the decisions you make. Responsible travel, greener travel, sustainable travel, and ethical travel aren’t just travel trends, they’re key to ensuring that we leave the places we visit better than we left them, and not worse off. It’s also about how we behave when we travel, and the importance of being culturally sensitive (for example follow local customs, respect local religions, dress modestly, and show regard for the people and community). So, keep yourself aware of what you’re doing, what you choose to do or not to do could have a much greater impact than you imagine. If you are ready to divert from your weekend routine, tag along your friends, family or beloved, and head out of the town for a much-needed vacay or, just-like-that.

It’s that time of the year again where we all forget our quarrels with our siblings and just spend an entire day celebrating your love. Whether it was fighting over a toy, deciding which cartoon to watch, or getting scolded by mom, those memories are part of the real-deal growing up. Sadly, those moments and times are deeply missed and craved for, now. You may be far apart, but you will always have that place in each other’s hearts. As Raksha Bandhan is about cherishing the love and relationship shared by siblings, why not surprise them with a trip this year?

1. Trees & Tigers, Sariska

Situated in Rajasthan, Trees & Tigers is a luxury boutique resort surrounded by unbound nature, spectacular wildlife, and picturesque Aravalli Mountains. It is well rounded in terms of indoor & outdoor activities, multicuisine restaurants, modern rooms, and more. The resort prides itself by not confining its guests to hotel rooms but rather have personal cottages, each combined with its personal courtyard and private machaan to absorb nature to its fullest and live like the King or Queen of the Jungle. The resort has managed to capture the authentic vibe of the wildlife, which pulls you away from the hustle and bustle of the city life.

The food is made at a premium level and can be customised according to directory needs giving you the complete feeling of luxury. They also offer village tours, tiger safaris, hiking, sleeping under the stars, and several other seasonal packages. It’s not only the perfect place to unwind and relax but you can also kick in some adventure by visiting the Sariska National Park or Sariska Tiger Reserve which is 15kms from the resort. The wildlife in Sariska includes Indian Leopards, Royal Bengal Tigers, Neel-Gais and so much more. Hospitality is also maintained at high standards at the resort and you would be lucky if you can find a room or two available on the weekend throughout the season.

2. Rajbari, West Bengal

A 2.5 hour drive from Kolkata, Rajbari is less of a hotel and more of a discovery. Restored after decades of dilapidation, this resort is home to the most breathtaking entrances in India. To stay here is to enter a deeply authentic and intricate story centered around the magic of West Bengal. Enjoy the charm of the old world at this heritage resort. Located about an hour and 30 minutes from Kolkata, The Rajbari Bawali is a 300-year-old boutique heritage property that has been elegantly turned into the best luxury heritage resort near Kolkata. You can sail on a country boat along the Hooghly River before rejoicing in the Sanskrit evening prayers and as dusk falls, make your way through the local dishes in the candlelit dining room. Simply stroll around the 4 acres of royalty that holds a different treasure for each guest. The authentic style of living is complemented with sophisticated comfort and luxury.

3. Wild Mahseer, Assam

Such pride in this wild corner of North-East India, known as ‘the land of the rising sun’, is evident in each area of the charming property, nestled in 22 acres of lush Addabarie Tea Estate. A deep and unswerving commitment to the surrounding environment underpins every part of life here and guests are immersed in the rich rhythm of nature. Experience the art of mindful tourism while living within the biodiverse haven of the Eastern Himalyan Botanic Ark. Every room is decorated with an array of exquisite ornaments, paintings and wall hangings personally selected and shipped from every corner of the world, highlighting the different faces of Asia.

The resort is passionate about portraying the region’s biodiversity. Whether it’s forest bathing, river safaris along the mighty Brahmaputra or visits to Assam Silk Weavers, they do it all! Their most famous and well-known experience is a drive to the Kaziranga National Park, home to the Great Indian One Horned Rhino. It is a combination of old -world charm and gracious living, set in lush surroundings with a vast range of activities, which make Wild Mahseer the ideal getaway.

4. Bari Kothi, Murshidabad

Few visitors to India even hear of Murshidabad, let alone visit it! Murshidabad is home to one of the largest palaces in India, most mosques built in a day, glorious architecture and an extremely intriguing history. Bari Kothi has been loving restored and is a sight to behold. Keeping this tradition of oral storytelling alive, Bari Kothi hosts a special session for our guests to connect with the intangible significance of the place, architecture and objects both emotionally and intellectually.

It is set in Azimganj, “the Varanasi of the East” with a warren of mosaic floored ballrooms, Burmese teak pillars, Belgian Chandeliers, faded portraits and vast stained glass windows. All of these magnificent parts of the resort descend onto the family ghat and stretch into the holy waters. Reminiscence and remember the 18th Century with Bari Kothi!

5. Pepper Trail, Kerala

Dive deep and explore the Jungle in this idyllic corner of North Kerala. Nestled among the mountains of the Western Ghats and swimming in heritage, storytelling and tranquility lies Pepper Trail. They are a working tea and coffee plantation with houses built about 40 feet away from each other - the resort is a true embodiment of wildlife with their hand carved beds and their locally sourced textiles.

Indulge in their personalised service, enjoy fine dining, explore the plantation, discover the local lore or relax with a soothing Ayurveda massage. Enjoy at the Pavilion and give your taste buds a treat with the seasonal local dishes bursting with amazing flavours! Eat while being serenaded by flashing birds and know you are in paradise. A selection of complimentary activities is offered in the area such as guided plantation walks, open jeep safaris, cycling, fishing, canoeing and coracle rides.

Remember Raksha Bandhan is not limited to your blood relationships and may also be representative of ties other than blood ones. It is thought of not only as a festival of sibling love, but also friendships and and association of support - show your loved ones that you truly care and make some more memories.

We hope that gives you a better idea on how to spend this Rakhi with your loved ones! At the end of the day, our most vital recommendation before booking to you is to thoroughly look through the reviews on Trip Advisor and Tripoto. My top recommendations would definitely be Trees&Tigers, Sariska and Rajbari, West Bangal, but that doesn’t make the rest any worse. Book now and plan your post lockdown trips! Don’t miss the chance to gift an experience!

Set amidst the sprawling lush landscape Trees & Tigers is a luxury resort that aims to provide its guests with the best cultural and wildlife experience. We would love to hear from you. Please send us your complaints, comments, and compliments.
