Repost @soulitudebytheriverside and @minimathur
Wellness is not just to do with the body.. it’s also treating all your 5 senses to a break from city life, routine .. which is often starved of cultural immersion or unique heart opening experiences. If you trust my word, I’m going to recommend a unique, one-of-a-kind Himalayan Baithak — a journey to the hills of Uttarakhand for stirring music sessions and delicious Kumaoni meals in the cozy setting of my favourite quaint boutique hotel @soulitude.in
The baithak, or ‘sitting’, is the traditional way in which music used to be enjoyed in India.
In their revival of these intimate sessions, you will be staying at Soulitude by the Riverside @soulitudebytheriverside , a beautiful hotel nestled in a valley, by the riverside (hosted by my brother & sister in law Manish & Ratna Chandra)
The musicians will play for a small, exclusive audience, both interacting with each other, both joined by their love for music.
Kumaoni meals, made with organic, farm-fresh produce will be served, and these will be followed by cooking sessions of your favourite dishes.
I took a bunch of my friends here and it was a musical retreat that topped our most exquisite life experiences.
Musical sessions include two performances in the evenings by Rehmat-e-Nusrat and one by its sister band, Himali Mou, which performs traditional pahadi music.
Music in the Hills: From 26th-28th April, at Soulitude By The Riverside, Chanfi, Uttarakhand Valley
by @amarrassrecords
So go on, BOOK YOUR EXPERIENCE now and If music retreats arent your thing, you can book a life changing vacation directly with @soulitude.in

Culture, conservation, and community stories are cornerstones of what we promote as RARE. It is also synonymous with the subcontinent’s offering for tourism much of it reflected perfectly in the erstwhile princely state of Jaipur. Aptly named The Great Indian Travel Bazaar celebrates its 13th edition this year, at its signature venue - Jaipur. A glorious congregation of travel and hospitality industry colleagues arrive at this one-of-a-kind event to connect and reconnect.
RARE India with its potpourri of owner run boutique retreats, wildlife camps and lodges, houseboats, river cruises and more will be there ready to introduce you to our best kept secrets. Come say Namaste, we are at Booth 150,151,152 &153 from 5th to 7th May, 2024 at The Great Indian Travel Bazaar in Jaipur.

Earth Day at Tiger Mountain Pokhara Lodge
Repost @tigermountainpokhara
On this Earth Day, let’s journey through time and witness the transformation brought by our dedication to regenerative tourism. From the seeds of sustainability sown in our past, to the flourishing green practices of the present, every step reflects our deep commitment to the planet. We’ve evolved from simply enjoying nature’s bounty to actively nurturing and restoring it.
Here’s to a greener tomorrow and the continued revival of our Earth’s wonders.

BRIDGES 2024 is a long envisioned (many will remember 2017 at India International Centre, New Delhi) idea to create a space where conversations around climate challenges, sustainability, travel, media and hospitality can show up alongside existing blueprints of good work in operations, curated experiences and initiatives that are leading the charge where conservation, preservation, conscious operations are concerned. This is where the rooms - meeting rooms, speaking rooms and Zoom rooms were electric with thought leaders, practitioners and people building exceptional businesses. Aimed to be free-flowing, slow and intimate BRIDGES will be remembered for its eloquence through verse, poetry, art, music, nature and beauty - a multi-sensory experience set against the stunning backdrop of gardens of The Roseate.
Above all the success of BRIDGES 2024 and forward will be based on this crucial point - that this is a space where we are not afraid to ask questions, question claims and claim successes - big or small.
Thank you for taking the time to attend BRIDGES by RARE, an event focused on bringing together small, owner-run and boutique hotels and experiences that are community-inclusive and planet-sensitive - all with a focus on conscious travel.

The cradles of civilizations are calling out to us. Are we listening? The soft gurgle and babbling of the water, that ever so gently murmurs in the background is the music of life, rapidly being silenced in many places in the name of development as gargantuan dams dry up downstream, with water being treated as private property and commodity, controlled and sold for profit.
On the occasion of International Day of Action for Rivers with the theme #WaterForAll it is time to dive in and reclaim what belongs to all of us. RARE partners, some of whom are situated on the banks of beautiful rivers have for years promoted conservation of rivers, calling out for more inclusive and scientific ways of using this resource bestowed on us freely and generously. Come join us, as we celebrate the rivers whose cultural, spiritual and utilitarian significance is what makes India the land and destination it is.

The experiences within the Haveli Dharampura allow you to see Old Delhi as an insider. The early morning mix of sounds and rituals – from the muezzin call to prayer at dawn from the minarets of the Jama Masjid, the morning flurry of the wings of the homing pigeons, to the kites on a free fall in the late afternoon to late evening bustle of the city’s denizens and lanes pack up for a short night.

It is rare to find a place of quietude, inviting one to contemplation, an inner journey without compromising comfort. Gratitude Heritage, Pondicherry, is a home restored closely to the original with the assistance of INTACH.
Gratitude is spotlessly clean and decorated with impeccable taste in the style of the period when Puducherry was a French colony. The furniture is mainly antiques salvaged from homes of that period and restored to much of its original beauty. The Anglo-French furnishings reflect the love for natural, authentic textiles.

The Gethia edition of Blue Book is a unique affair of the old and new. A 130-year-old colonial structure overlooking the gorgeous Jeolikote Valley, it was built by Madame Durell - a British lady who chose to settle in this hamlet for life. Each of the 12 rooms, looking out to a distinct view, feels like new canvases with new tales to be told. The choicest of global cuisines, the rarest of birds, the richest of greens, the brisk little walks amidst the feather white clouds, the boundless starry nights, it’s a spectacular life of the 1890s with the comforts of this era. A common destination but an exclusive destiny.

Repost Ramathra Fort @thegrasslandstrustindia
“Ramathra” an enchanted land where time still stands still. This unique landscape is rich in culture and natural heritage, harbouring some of the most elusive wildlife of our country such as the Caracal.
The place is also a strong breeding ground for the Indian grey wolf, a rapidly reducing canine.
The problems these species face come are also quite unique. The spillover population of tigers from Ranthambhore is settling in this area and the efforts taken to make this area tiger conducive may eventually wipe out these lesser species.
Presently the landscape requires understanding and collaborative working with the residents to ensure the long term survival of this ecosystem!

Located on the outskirts of bustling Bengaluru (35km), Shreyas is the complete antidote to the fast paced city life. The countryside location, away from the main city allows for easy access as well as a sense of remoteness. The retreat is adjacent to a village. The slow stride meets you even before you enter the premises. Of course, once inside the retreat, the lush surrounds and soothing vibe embrace you immediately.
Repost @shreyasretreat
In today’s fast paced life, the mind has become the hub of frantic activities whereas the body hardly moves. While the body needs exercise, every now and then our mind needs a break. Shirolepam, an ayurvedic treatment, has a soothing effect on the whole body as the central nervous system relaxes into its natural state. A medicated preparation of herbs applied on the scalp and covered with banana leaves is highly beneficial in conditions like insomnia, hypertension, chronic headache, etc., it also strengthens hair roots and restores the natural shine of our hair.

Be greeted at The Mountbatten Lodge by the “Langa Symphony”, an authentic welcome to Rajasthan!
Perfectly set en-route between Udaipur and Ranakpur or to make it your private paradise to revel with friends and family, Mountbatten Lodge offers activities like riding, sunset safaris, leopard tracking and treks to Kumbhalgarh but it is the Jazz sessions at the bar in the main lodge that you will come away with and come back for. The Lodge is a perfect base for exploring small villages and communities deep in this hilly terrain. One can ride on horseback or trek through a few miles of forests dotted with brief villages.
Ranakpur is an explorer's dream; clean state roads cut through gently rolling hills with forests on both sides, and you may come up with small, interesting villages and friendly village folk. Don’t be surprised if you see a handsome villager working his ox over a water wheel!
