The new age Indian traveller is taking to glamping as it guarantees a post lockdown break in the midst of Nature whilst affording the luxuries of a hotel
Beside a crackling bonfire under a starlit sky, listening to the orchestra of the cicadas and the gurgle of the forest stream, one couldn’t possibly want anything more from life. Except, perhaps, a hot tub, WiFi, and a soft bed with sweet smelling sheets, and not to mention soul-satisfying food. Luxury, even in the middle of a jungle, is not too much to ask for.

KOCHI: During his visit to Mongolia at the peak of winter two years ago, 41-year-old Balram Menon accompanied a few people to a frozen lake at the Gorkhi-Terelj National Park. What was supposed to be a dog sledging outing quickly turned into an unforgettable episode. To his surprise, his companions made a tiny hole on the lake’s solid ice surface and caught a fish. The fresh catch was grilled with the ember made by rubbing two pieces of tree barks and served to him.
As an avid traveller who has visited 30 countries, Balram does not have a dearth of anecdotes about his various escapades but by his admission, the incident in Mongolia tops everything else as one of the most thrilling experiences he has ever had. Perhaps because it combines the industrialist’s two true loves, travel and food.
