Flavours Of The Land: How Regional Cuisine Is Shaping Experiential Tourism In India
Last Updated: As the Indian tourism landscape continues to evolve, bespoke culinary experiences are fast becoming the new luxury, intimate, rooted in place, and rich in storytelling In India, travel is no longer just about sightseeing, it's about immersing oneself in local culture, and food is at the very heart of this experience. As tourists seek deeper, more authentic connections with destinations, regional cuisines have emerged as powerful storytellers, revealing the history, traditions, and soul of a place. From the rugged forests of Central India to the royal deserts of Rajasthan, food is becoming a key pillar of the tourism experience. Nestled in the heart of Central India, Jungle Camps India is reimagining luxury in the wild—through the lens of food. Here, dining isn't just about a meal; it's an immersive culinary adventure set against the backdrop of raw nature. 'Jungle Camps India offers a unique culinary adventure in the forests of Central India, where guests can experience forest barbecues and bush cooking using indigenous, fresh produce," shares Gajendra Singh Rathore, Managing Director, Jungle Camps India. The camps celebrate the region's tribal food heritage, with age-old jungle cooking techniques like open-fire meals and smoky barbecues forming the heart of their kitchen. Signature dishes like the 'Tribal Thali' featuring seasonal forest greens, millets, wild herbs, and lentils—offer not just nourishment but a connection to the ancestral wisdom of Central India's tribal communities. These curated culinary experiences have transformed meals into moments of storytelling, where tourists learn to appreciate sustainability, foraging, and the deep-rooted symbiosis between people and the forest. The Royal Plate: Rajasthan's Cuisine as Cultural Capital Meanwhile, in the culturally rich state of Rajasthan, food is nothing short of an identity. While its palaces and forts may draw visitors, it's the spicy curries, diverse breads, and sweet delights that truly win their hearts. 'Rajasthan is known in the country and the world for its cultural heritage, palaces and forts, but its traditional food has also become an important part of tourism," says Dalip Singh Rathore, Joint Director, Department of Tourism, Government of Rajasthan. From Daal-Baati-Churma to Ker-Sangri, Rajasthani cuisine is as bold and flavorful as the land itself. Whether served in a lavish heritage hotel or a roadside dhaba, these dishes reflect simplicity, authenticity, and soul. 'The food tradition of Rajasthan makes the tourism experience complete. It is not only delicious but also a true reflection of the soul and tradition of the state," Rathore adds. In cities like Jaipur, Udaipur, and Jodhpur, travelers encounter a dazzling variety of foods—from the fiery Laal Maas to the subtle sweetness of Ghevar, Malpua, and Rasgulla. And it's not just in fine-dining spaces; the same richness is found in bustling street corners, local markets, and homes where age-old recipes are lovingly preserved. Where Taste Meets Travel What unites destinations like the tribal heartlands of Central India and the opulent terrain of Rajasthan is a shared belief that food is not just sustenance, it's heritage, identity, and an invitation to connect. 'In Rajasthan, food is not just a means to satisfy hunger, but a cultural journey," Rathore notes. 'From roadside tea shops to restaurants in havelis, every place offers a unique taste experience." Similarly, Jungle Camps India takes pride in offering meals that narrate the story of the land and its people, bringing travelers closer to nature and tradition. As the Indian tourism landscape continues to evolve, bespoke culinary experiences are fast becoming the new luxury, intimate, rooted in place, and rich in storytelling. From flame-grilled wild greens in a forest camp to hand-rolled rotis under the desert sky, every bite is a memory waiting to be savored. view comments First Published: News lifestyle » food Flavours Of The Land: How Regional Cuisine Is Shaping Experiential Tourism In India Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

From ₹13 to ₹775: Multibagger small-cap stock turns ₹1 lakh into ₹60 lakh in 5 years. Do you own?
Multibagger small-cap stock: RMC Switchgears, which is engaged in switchgear engineering and ECI contracts for the power distribution and transmission sector, has seen its share price rise rapidly in recent years, significantly multiplying shareholders' wealth. Despite a sharp pullback in recent months—amid market volatility and profit booking—RMC Switchgears' stock is still trading with a massive 3,211% gain over the last three years and a phenomenal 5,900% gain over the past five years, making it one of the biggest wealth creators in the Indian stock market. During this period, the stock has zoomed from ₹ 13 to its current trading price of ₹ 775 apiece, turning a ₹ 1 lakh investment into ₹ 60 lakh After remaining on the sidelines between CY18 and CY20, during which it lost 75% of investor value, the stock picked up momentum in CY21, ending the year with a 45% gain, followed by an impressive 1,039% rise in 2022 and another 83% gain in 2024. The stellar rally in the stock can be attributed to improved financial performance and its expansion into renewable energy, particularly in solar and green energy EPC and IPP solutions, as part of its broader strategy to create value from India's clean energy transition. Notably, it recently bagged an order for rooftop solar systems from the Government of Rajasthan. In mid-March, the company announced that it had received a Letter of Acceptance (LOA) from the Government of Rajasthan for the installation of rooftop solar systems with a total capacity of 50 MW across state government buildings in Jaipur and Dausa. Valued at ₹ 320 crore (including GST), the LOA includes a one-time revenue opportunity of ₹ 229 crore and recurring revenue of ₹ 91 crore over the next 25 years for operations and maintenance (O&M) services—establishing a steady long-term income stream for RMC, the company stated in its March 15 regulatory filing. Meanwhile, the stellar rise in RMC Switchgears' share price has rewarded retail shareholders handsomely, as they collectively own 42.1% of the company as of the end of March 2025. Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) hold 5.1%, while the promoters retain a majority stake of 52.1%. The company's shares have made significant strides on the exchanges in recent sessions, hitting the 5% upper circuit limits following the release of its financial performance for H2 FY25. It posted a consolidated net profit of ₹ 21.26 crore in H2 FY25—more than three times the PAT of ₹ 6.83 crore recorded in H2 FY24. Net sales during the same period surged 150.4% year-on-year to ₹ 213.38 crore. In the corresponding period last year, the company's sales stood at ₹ 85.21 crore. For the full FY25, RMC Switchgears reported a consolidated net profit of ₹ 31.45 crore, up 111.2% YoY, and net sales of ₹ 318.16 crore, reflecting an 84.3% YoY increase. The company is a leading player in the electrical infrastructure solutions sector, specializing in the manufacturing of electrical enclosures that help prevent power theft and enhance safety by reducing the risk of electrocution. It is also pursuing backward integration with a proposed 1 GW solar module manufacturing plant, aimed at strengthening its market position and aligning with India's broader goal of reducing import dependence and promoting domestic manufacturing. In addition to its core business, RMC said it is expanding into water management infrastructure, incorporating advanced technologies such as IoT to enhance operational efficiency and service delivery.
