As the conversation around travel evolves, glamping is no longer seen as an offbeat alternative

In an age defined by instant gratification, back-to-back meetings, and screens that never sleep, the true luxury many are yearning for is the ability to slow down. The modern traveler is no longer chasing packed itineraries or high-speed sightseeing. Instead, they are seeking stillness, presence, and meaning. This is where the philosophy of slow travel is beginning to redefine what luxury really means. And at the heart of this shift is the rise of glamping, a form of travel that seamlessly blends the comforts of luxury with the raw serenity of nature.
Glamping, or glamorous camping, offers curated stays in natural environments with modern amenities but it is more than just a fancy tent. It is a conscious experience. It encourages people to unplug from digital chaos, immerse themselves in the natural world, and reconnect with themselves.
According to Antony Thomas, Founder and CEO, LuxeGlamp, “Luxury today is not about marble bathtubs or ten-course meals. It is about being able to hear the birds in the morning, feel the grass under your feet, and have space to breathe. Our guests come to us not for the amenities but for the feeling of freedom they rediscover here.”
This pursuit of mindful moments is echoed at EcoGlamp Kanatal, a nature-first retreat located amidst the pine forests of Uttarakhand. Designed with sustainability and wellness in mind, it offers guests an opportunity to slow down without compromising on comfort.
Mr. Sanjay Sharma, Founder and CEO of Organic Hideaways Pvt. Ltd., which manages EcoGlamp Kanatal, shares, “Our guests come not with to-do lists but with the intention to pause. They are looking for fresh air, nourishing food, and quiet spaces where they can just be. At EcoGlamp, we believe that true wellness comes from simplicity and nature’s rhythm.”
Whether it’s watching the stars from a dome tent, participating in silent forest walks, or enjoying locally sourced organic meals, glamping experiences across India are now creating a new category of wellness, one that is immersive, introspective, and deeply personal.
As the conversation around travel evolves, glamping is no longer seen as an offbeat alternative. It is becoming a movement. A movement that reminds us that the truest form of luxury is not found in excess, but in essence. And sometimes, the most powerful form of healing begins with doing less not more.
