Our October issue is for the lovers of winter—those whod dare ice climbing along Spiti’s frozen waterfalls and cliffs, explore Åland Islands in sub-zero temperatures, and feast on nippy-weather food in Kolkata. For others whod like to escape to warmer climes, there are the sultry charms of Sri Lanka and Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Also in the magazine: a special feature on 21 iconic female travellers who defied convention and opened up the world for all.
