Whether it’s road-tripping through Rajasthan, unwinding at a luxury resort in Ranthambore or doing laps in a heated pool in Kashmir—Indian travellers are choosing the best, most unique and engaging experiences when it comes to travel. Our annual Readers’ Travel Awards continues to capture the travel experiences our readers love best.

Like each year, the Readers’ Travel Awards are chosen through a readers’ voting process spanning two months sans any nominations and recognise the best in the travel industry across hotels, destinations, airlines, spas, and more. This year’s survey saw a record-breaking response from the readers of Condé Nast Traveller, pointing to a resurgence of travel and a bounce back of the entire sector.
