Each year, the reader’s of Travel+Leisure head to the polls to vote on their favorite countries, islands, hotels, and more as part of our World’s Best Awards. Reader wisdom is an invaluable resource both for us here at T+L, and for you, so you can get not only our take on a new destination but theirs as well. And, this year, there’s one place they are all raving about — India.
