About the India Beckons magazine
India Beckons is a digital travel magazine with a focus on travel, food, culture, heritage, festivals and communities. Our articles are contributed by various writers, bloggers, travel and food enthusiasts and we have five blogger sections: travel bloggers, photobloggers, food bloggers, culture bloggers and lifestyle bloggers. This magazine is written for frequent travellers, food enthusiasts, and people interested in learning more about different cultures and heritage. The magazine has a strong focus on the culture and traditions of people as seen through various lenses and, as a result, would be of interest to a general audience as well. We have an experiences section that describes a variety of experiences from adventure travel to jungle safaris, jewellery and saree shopping in India, festivals of India, festivals of the world, beach vacations, family travel and so on; it is our endeavour to keep readers engaged with our novel and interesting blogs. If you enjoy reading our blogs and are inspired by them to travel to new destinations, please leave a comment for the blogger.
Also, if you would like to contribute articles for our magazine, and are interested in documenting your travels in a blog, please contact us at marketing@whatsthebestword.net. We would love to hear from you.
