Traveling in India can be an incredible experience, full of stunning landscapes, be it national parks, mountains, deserts or coastal areas. Talking about travel, one of the most popular trends right now is the concept of glamping. Also known as glamorous camping, glamping is for people looking for outdoor adventure. It is a form of camping that includes accommodation and facilities that are relatively more luxurious than traditional camping. With India boasting the fifth largest rail network in the world, many popular glamping destinations are accessible by rail.
