Glamping as an option for travellers is on the rise, said Dhun Cordo. “In 2017, we witnessed a significant increase in demand for our luxury camping tents in Thiksey, Diskit and Kohima. We also forayed into semipermanent accommodation and expanded our luxury portfolio with the launch of a rebranded luxury lodge experience – Jaagir Lodge Dudhwa in Terai, Uttar Pradesh,” she shared.

In terms of new developments, TUTC will now be heading to South India. “TUTC will soon be expanding its glamping services down south with the opening of TUTC Kishkinda Camp, Hampi, in Karnataka,” she revealed.

Detailing the USPs of TUTC Jaagir Lodge Dudhwa, she said, “It is a colonial structure built in the 1940s, deep within the forests leading to four different forests reserves, which are home to different species of animals, most of them endangered like tigers, one-horned rhinoceros, nearly extinct 12-horned swamp deer, Ganges river dolphins and fishing cats.”

Saying that experience is the key, she added, “We aim to create an experience for travellers that blend tradition and luxury at Jaagir Lodge. We want to enable them to observe wildlife in its natural surroundings in Dudhwa, while educating them about conservationist Arjan Singh’s commitment to conservation. Immersed in nature and wildlife, TUTC Jaagir Lodge is an intimate farmstead housing four luxury rooms, three luxury suites and two stilted villas embedded in the natural world.” Luxury camping as a concept is rapidly evolving in India, claimed Cordo. “There is an increase in bookings for our camps in Ladakh and Kohima both. As for luxury lodge experience, it is a hugely untapped segment,” she said.
