hello!I can’t ‘escape’ stating the fact that we have come a long way, in less than two years, as a successful publisher in the Indian sub-continent.
We began with ten exciting outbound guides (September 2012). This was possible due to excellent work done by the India team (see the pictures) with the support of the world’s leading travel expert with 40 glorious years behind it.
Close on the heels of the ten international guides, came a bouquet of domestic titles. March 2013 marked the launch of short escapes, a series aimed at weekend travel from the top three Indian metros: Delhi, Mumbai and Bengaluru. Written and researched by a team of hand-picked authors, these three guides give dozens of options for everyone – the nature lover, the heritage buff, the wildlife enthusiast, the spa seeker and many other keen travellers.
For those wanting a more comprehensive coverage of a region or state, there was more in store: guides on goa, kerala and rajasthan (launched in 2013). The next in this series is Jammu & kashmir.
Travellers also wanted pocket guides with competitive pricing for quick and easy references to destinations. In response we published holidays by shatabdi and summer holidays.
Theme-led holiday plans got a fillip in the form of another series born last year: Beach escapes was the launch title, followed by Best escapes hills. Both these guides help you choose a domestic holiday according to your preference: seaside or hills. We haven’t forgotten the traveller who loves to explore foreign countries. In the international series, Best escapes malaysia is the latest addition.
Best escapes south india, our first regional guide, is a colourful mosaic of Southern flavours. To follow are two more guides in the same series: Best escapes east & northeast india and Best escapes north india.
