Book of Zen

When the first edition of OutlookTraveller Getaways’ Wellness Holidays in India was published back in 2008, wellness getaways were a new form of travel. Fast forward nine years, the second edition is out and needless to say, things have changed. New retreats and resorts have come up, tested waters and settled down. Most of these now focus on holistic well-being and not just physical health. This is how the new guidebook approaches the subject too—it explores all aspects of wellness holidays with a fresh lens. It is divided into sections like ‘Spas & Retreats’, ‘Ayurveda’ and ‘Naturopathy’, with each having experiential accounts. It also explains alternative medicine, and elaborates on the unique wellness programmes offered by properties across the country. The narratives are supplemented with fact boxes, giving the reader all the essential information in one compact book. There is also a section that features route planners and maps, as well as one on wellness listings to pamper you through planning your next holiday.
