Australians Alan and David are excitedly planning their third trip to India, having already explored major sites like the Golden Triangle and southern cities. They highlight positive experiences and emphasize the welcoming environments offered to LGBTQ+ travelers. India's tourism sector is increasingly catering to this demographic, with companies providing custom experiences for various budgets. The rise of LGBTQ+ tourism is supported by establishments like 'The Hosteller', which welcomes diverse guests and fosters a sense of community, making India an appealing destination for LGBTQ+ travelers.
"We have seen a rising number of LGBTQ+ travelers choosing our hostels as their base to explore the diverse and vibrant spirit of India. They come not only for the sights but to feel seen, respected, and part of a larger, welcoming community," Pranav Dangi, founder and CEO of 'The Hosteller', a backpacker hostel chain.
"The idea is to visit Kerala, Kashmir, and Delhi soon - it has been on our bucket list. The agency arranging our trips has been great in organizing the tour," Maurice told DW.
