Innholdsfortegnelse for September 2019 i Travel + Leisure India & South Asia

Anniversaries are always special, and our 13th Anniversary issue especially so, since it marks the debut of Travel + Leisure India & South Asia’s A-List (Adviser List) that features prominent personalities from various walks of life.

Photographers, filmmakers, restaurateurs, hoteliers, chefs, and entrepreneurs—these experts will now bring you their personal travel tales and tips to inspire you and make your own globetrotting endeavours easier. Our anniversary cover features Bollywood’s girl-of-the-moment, Kiara Advani, enjoying a beach holiday in Mauritius, the land of rainbows (p. 94).

1. DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES The most happening area of the city, Downtown LA offers you a confetti of things—from cool cafes and restaurants to high-end brands to workout avenues like Soul Cycle and some really cool movie theatres. You’ll never get bored of exploring this region. 2. HOLLYWOOD This one’s a no-brainer. Whether it’s the famed Hollywood Boulevard, the iconic Hollywood sign on the hill, or even the neighbourhood streets that host some of the most interesting stores or cafes, this stereotype is something you want to abide by if you’re as obsessed with American TV shows and movies as I am. If you’re headed there with a little planning, make sure you book yourself a table at Black Rabbit Rose (blackrabbitrose.com), a really cute magic show (for adults) that…

The landscape seems to dance past your window. A river sensuously sways alongside, tall trees foxtrot by, and then, a spotlight of sunrays, filtered through broody clouds, shines on the mountains engaged in a slow waltz. Witnessing this musical of nature can change you and leave you with stories that last a lifetime. One such story is that of the Iconic Ladakh Drive, Mountain Trail, Spiti-Ladakh, curated by Tata SOUL (SUV Owners United League). It’s a story that saw us traversing some of the most daunting terrains in the world, aboard 10 mean machines, over 12 days and more than 2,000 kilometres. A story that took us through unforgiving roads and incredulous landscapes. A story that began with 30 strangers and ended with a brotherhood formed by the shared love…

Do your knees and feet ache from hours of sightseeing? Or do you envy the lean, long-muscled look of those who have it without much effort? Or are you unsure how you’ll be able to follow your fitness routine when on a holiday? Whatever your motive, aqua aerobics (aerobic exercises in water) is a cool and fun way to build strength and stay in shape wherever you are. To practice aqua aerobics, you don’t necessarily need to know how to swim—the fitness routine is performed in neck-deep water. The buoyancy of the water stretches your muscles and helps smoothen your movements, and you are able to work better on your flexibility. The water’s resistance makes the workout more intense and challenging—it is like carrying a lot of weight while you…

THE SARTORIAL LANDSCAPE of the country has evolved tremendously over the decade. Breaking away from the guidance of the previous generation, the millennials have come of age and started dictating their own life patterns and choices to reshape the present economy. A remarkable rise in the shift of preference has been observed, where millennials are perceiving luxury today, in experiences over tangible products, which in turn has seen an upsurge in demand for holidays as a segment. The big billion dollar wedding industry is experiencing a huge makeover as well. The number of requests of destination weddings and pieces for the same have shot up drastically over the years. Catering to what is the latest in fashion and here to stay, there is an increase in demand for design options…

What are the growing trends in flower decor at Indian weddings? Indian weddings are getting customised. Arrangements vary for every function. For instance, for ceremonies at home, like the mehendi or puja, traditional flowers like mogra and marigold are still being used. Marigold curtains and intricate designs around the settees and bolsters are popular for day functions and entrance decor. For cocktails, the flower arrangements have become chic and stylish with a focus on flowers at the bar, a conversational installation near the dance floor, and centrepieces; some of these are also complemented with pearls and glitter to add to the glamour of the evening. For the wedding and reception, the flower arrangements are grand, with the entrance being the focal point followed by the stage where the couple greets…

In April this year, I visited Sri Lanka for the first time. I toured Galle, to be precise. And I fell in love with its warmth, its hospitality, and its locales. Just a week later, the now-infamous Easter Blasts ravaged this beautiful island nation. A country that took pride in being one of the best tourist destinations in the world suffered a dramatic setback. That’s when we decided to support the #lovesrilanka campaign—presenting the resilient side of the country with a bit of help from Resplendent Ceylon and newly announced A-List Advisers Shivan & Narresh and Siddharth Dhanvant Shanghvi (p. 59). Sri Lanka, I’ll be back soon!…

A pall of gloomy clouds hung over the perceivable horizon. We braved the chilly winds blowing over the waters of Lake Garda so we could soak in the view from the uppermost deck of the ferry we boarded from Malcesine, a medieval hamlet on the eastern shore. Perhaps because the weather didn’t permit either swimming or lounging, we’d decided on an excursion to Gardone Riviera, on the western shore, north of Salò. For the moment, the sky seemed to exercise welcome restraint. It was my father-in-law who’d suggested seeing the Vittoriale when we’d told him about our Lake Garda weekend plans, which in turn jogged my partner’s memory of a school trip there years ago. He vividly recollected the sale of fascist memorabilia outside the last home of the Italian…

FOR WHOM Anyone who likes water, has injuries, or is in physical rehab. Water workouts are a terrific cross-training activity for runners, cyclists, and aerobicisers. Water workouts are also great for pregnant women, older people, and those with multiple sclerosis, osteoporosis, or other degenerative diseases because moving through water is much easier on your body. WHAT TO WEAR A swimsuit that doesn’t creep up your rear end. Wear a pair of old sneakers or special aqua-exercise shoes so you don’t scrape your feet on the bottom of the pool. Shoes add more resistance to your workout routine. WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN AN INSTRUCTOR Certification is a definite plus, but water-certification programmes are few and far apart. Never hesitate to ask for your instructor’s credentials, experience, and references. There’s no…

FOR AN HOUR OR MORE, we had been descending through a forest of black pine and fir, following a stream we could hear but not see. The snow lay deep, smothering the creek and turning tree stumps into giant white mushrooms. There were bears in these woods, said my guide, a young Spaniard named Peru Ortiz de Zarate, and bearded vultures that crunch on the bones of dead mountain goats. But we were making far too much noise to risk meeting these animals, laughing as we pushed past the trees that grabbed at our rucksacks and ski poles. Finally, as if pulling back a theatre curtain, Ortiz de Zarate parted two branches to reveal our destination. Ahead was a clearing in the forest, where a wooden bridge straddled a burbling…

Tell us about your latest travels. I recently spent a weekend in Bern, Switzerland. On my last visit, six years ago, I had driven from Zurich to Bern via Interlaken. But this time, I was invited—I’m the unofficial mascot of the Indian Formula E racing team [Mahindra Racing]. In summer, I’m usually in Europe so I make it a point to go check out the races. I’ve been to around 20 races around the world. The races are city-specific events. The city streets are barricaded and made into a track. A large portion of Bern [the Old City of Berne] is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Apart from it being a historic city and the capital of Switzerland, it’s surrounded by a river on three sides, making it a natural…

“Aap Hindu hain?” our guide asked, his eyebrows knit together. ‘Are you Hindu?’ “Ji haan,” I responded. ‘I am.’ “Phir toh aap apne hi ghar aayi hain,” he said with a wide smile. ‘Then you have come home.’ I looked around the exquisite landscape of ochre yellow buildings and blue-green waters. The poignancy of his words was not lost on me, since we stood at one of the most sacred sites of Hindu pilgrimage, the Katas Raj temple complex, situated in a lush embrace of the salt ranges of Kallar Kahar in Punjab, Pakistan. I was visiting the country as a part of my book research, recording the oral histories of the generation who witnessed Partition. This was, of course, a few years ago—at a time when tensions weren’t so…

Sri Lanka has been an interesting flame for us. We chanced upon it on a work trip in 2016, and the island nation caught us off guard with its beauty. From gastronomy to pristine beaches, rich culture, colonial influences, and the architecture of Geoffrey Bawa, Sri Lanka was seductive. It grew on us, slowly and steadily, year on year, much like that love you never expect. We visited it again in 2017—twice! Once, for a friend’s post-wedding celebrations, and later, for a family holiday. Fast forward to 2019, when we heard about the deadly Easter attacks, it only made sense for us to go back and love it even more. Our fourth trip to the destination turned out to be the most experiential, and so far, the most memorable. ALL…

TOUR OPERATOR Ajeet Bajaj “India is my favourite mountain destination. We’ve got diverse mountain ranges, starting from Jammu and Kashmir to Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, Darjeeling, Sikkim, and Arunachal Pradesh.” Ajeet Bajaj is the founder and visionary behind India’s leading adventure tourism company—Snow Leopard Adventures. An advocate of the “leave no footprints, take only photographs” policy, he suggests being “culturally sensible” at every destination. The Padma Shri awardee is also the first Indian to complete the Polar Trio by skiing to the North Pole, the South Pole, and the Greenland Ice Cap. Bajaj, along with his daughter Deeya, climbed Mount Everest on May 16, 2018, thus becoming the first father-daughter duo to achieve the feat.

ADVANI’S FAVOURITES Shopping Destination New York Cuisine Japanese Movie The Devil Wears Prada Do you have a travel ritual? No, but that’s a very good idea, actually! Oh but I try and get a fridge magnet from every new place I visit. What’s your worst travel nightmare? Delayed flights! If you are to be stuck in one place for the rest of your life, and you have a choice, what place would you choose? Some place with Internet (laughs), and an island like this one (Mauritius). But who I am trapped with is a more important question, which I won’t answer. Being in a multi-lingual destination makes me want to ask, how many languages can you speak? A little bit of Telugu apart from Hindi and English. I’d like to…

Basking in the sun, scoring some Vitamin ‘Sea’, and lying on an inflatable with a cocktail in hand is my idea of a beach vacation. This time, however, it’s different. My weekend at W Koh Samui isn’t just about sunbathing and drinking mimosas. I arrived here during their FUEL weekend, which meant I’d have to sweat it out. It’s fun but, I kid you not, I’ve been here doing high-intensity workouts, power yoga sessions and Thai kick-boxing classes for two days, and now, a dire need to just hang loose doesn’t feel trivial at all. So, I ditch my afternoon workout session, and book a lazy relaxing spa visit on a rather cloudy day. As I climb a spiral staircase to reach the spa reception, I picture a dimly-lit closed…

Getting There & Around Fly either to Barcelona or Toulouse, France, then renta car—you’ll need one to make the most of the valley. Toulouse is closer, a three-hour drive from Baqueira Beret. Barcelona’s airport is about four hours away, whether you choose to go over the pass or through the tunnel (the safer option after dark). San Sebastián, four hours away in the Basque Country, is another good add-on. Parking in the ski resort and the villages is easy and usually free. Where to Stay Spain’s top ski resort, Baqueira Beret (baqueira.es) offers 5,617 acres of skiing, 36 lifts, and an array of high-altitude restaurants; a five-day lift pass costs ₹17,500. The resort’s most luxurious property is Hotel Val de Neu (doubles from ₹24,090; hotelbaqueiravaldeneu.com), just 50 yards from the…

WHEN IT COMES TO THE BIG DAY, there are a few things you need to keep in mind: perfect outfit, matching accessories, dreamy location, ethereal decor, your complementing look...
