Jorhat, a small Assamese tea town most Indians couldn’t place on a map two years ago, saw a 493% year-on-year surge in flight searches for 2026. The headline isn’t Jorhat.

\nSlow travel is now India’s fastest-growing travel format \u2014 Jorhat alone saw a 493% year-on-year surge in flight searches for 2026, per Skyscanner Horizons 2026. The 20 best destinations to slow-travel in India this year span Kerala’s backwaters, Himalayan villages (Spiti, Tirthan, Shoja), Majuli island, Pondicherry’s French Quarter, and underrated tea regions like Coonoor and Jorhat.
