Read on to know if your favourites made the cut. By Bayar Jain

Travel, for us, is no child’s play. It requires planning mixed with the right dose of spontaneity, coupled with oodles of fun. Last night, too, personified this very essence of travelling. Held at the ITC Maurya, New Delhi, this year’s edition of Travel + Leisure India & South Asia’s India’s Best Awards celebrated the pioneers of this field. Our readers voted across categories, such as destinations, hotels, facilitators, service providers, or even trendsetters in this sphere – both Indian and international. We honoured them all!

Moreover, the underlying theme of conscious travel found a space during the event too, with the winners of categories such Best Emerging Green Destinations, Hero for Earth, and Photography for a Cause being felicitated as well. Adding to the fun-filled event were our Pouring Partners, Ballantine’s and Gifting Partner, Smytten.
