Readers Choice 2013 World Special

Dear reader, you are our precious muse. And now, it’s that time of the year when we would like to extend a heartfelt ‘Thank You’ to you — our beloved patrons.

Your comments, suggestions, snapshots and sometimes even brickbats made us prettier and stronger in our travel convictions. Each edition of ET-Travel over the months paved way for some amazing vacations ahead. Great deals, last minute offers and lesser-known ways to holiday with affordable luxury options were the topranking demands.

This issue is dedicated pictorially to ‘readers choice’ as we painstakingly picked the best pictures, recommendations and winning destinations that were popular amongst Indian travellers during the year 2013.

Laced with exclusivity, each hand-sifted winning destination is sure to make you reminisce memories that were etched during your annual holiday (no longer do we wait for the summers. It must be summers somewhere right now, too).

Playing it by ear, we bring you a chance to tango on a romantic note replete with a dash of adventure, relaxation, indulgence and fun, all packed in your vacay briefcase.
