Unknown to us, their silent existence adds to the beauty of the surroundings. While most of our vacation photographs do include trees, we often fail to realise their importance in tourism. In recognition of this vital role of trees, we at Touriosity Travelmag thought of dedicating an issue ( September 2017) to this very rare theme. The issue features articles on various tree attractions around the world including creepy trees, unique trees and rare species as also those with a long history or interesting legend behind. Articles ​ More Click on the Image to read this issue August 2017 Log In ​ Touriosity Travelmag has done it again - it has dedicated an entire August 2017 issue to a very rare theme, Volcanos. Although one cannot term them as ‘attractions’ but volcanos definitely deserve to be in the bucket list of serious travellers for the sheer curiosity that they evoke. In the history of this earth many a beautiful city has been destroyed due to volcanic eruptions, millions of lives have been lost; yet people are ever inquisitive about volcanos and travel miles to see them, whether live, dormant or dead. This issue is a compilation of the ‘must visit’ volcanic sites. Articles ​ More Click on the Image to read this issue July 2017 Log In ​ Touriosity Travelmag is known for its unique issues.

Many of us love rains, not just because it brings respite from the heat but also because many places that are bestowed with nature’s bliss, look perfectly paradisiacal during the rains. And because the school vacation of kids sometimes coincide with the rainy season, we often have to go for holidays during the rains. This issue, therefore, is dedicated to all those places which, due to their sheer beauty and nature’s abundance, deserve footfalls during monsoon. Articles ​ More Click on the Image to read this issue May 2017 Log In ​ Not often do we at Touriosity dedicate an issue to an entire region, because we are more focussed at tourism sub-themes. This time we decided to have an issue on the fascinating Middle East, which is good enough for a tourism sub-theme as well. This May 2017 brings to our readers many facets of the Middle East, starting from its deserts, to beaches, to historical architecture to the modern day metropolis.
