From Chaos to Stillness: How COVID Changed Our Travel Styles 🛫 #podcast

Indians are constantly on the go, highly stimulated by daily life. But COVID brought a shift towards stillness, and it's reflected in our travel habits. People now prefer staying longer in one place, soaking in the environment rather than rushing through. In this podcast moment, we dive into how this shift has reshaped travel. #podcast

Welcome to Episode 11 of Unheard India, where we travel to the heart of Manali to meet Kanupriya — an architect turned boutique stay owner, who’s redefining what responsible tourism looks like in the Indian Himalayas.

In this powerful and reflective conversation, we explore Kanupriya’s journey from architecture to the creation of TRA, a quiet boutique stay in the hills of Himachal Pradesh. Through her story, we uncover the often-overlooked aspects of tourism in mountain regions — the strain on local ecosystems, unsustainable development, and the subtle yet urgent need for change.

We dive deep into topics like:

Sustainable tourism practices in India
Eco-conscious living in the hills
Reimagining hospitality with intention
Her personal shift from city life to slow, intentional mountain living
How architecture and sustainability intersect in boutique stay design
Earthquakes, ecology, and our forgotten relationship with nature
Kanupriya’s story is not just about a physical shift to the mountains — it’s about an inner shift towards mindfulness, minimalism, and earth-centered living. TRA isn’t just a place to stay — it’s a space that reflects thoughtfulness, restraint, and respect for the land.

If you're someone passionate about eco-tourism, conscious travel, offbeat stays, and women-led entrepreneurial journeys — this episode is for you.

👉 Watch till the end for beautiful insights into why the mountains aren’t just destinations, but living, breathing ecosystems that deserve gentleness.
