Postcards From Nowhere with Utsav Mamoria

As climate change leads to harsher weather conditions and calamities across the world, the ways we travel are definitely bound to get affected. Will tiny island nations be safe for travel in a few decades? What about resorts on secluded hilltops?

In today's episode, we discuss how climate stress could impact the world's biggest pilgrimages like the Haj and Kumbh Mela. Would we see a time when the time and the way these are held is governed by what climatic conditions allow, rather than religious decree?
