Travelxp built its reputation as the first travel channel in the world to broadcast in 4K HDR. Based in Mumbai, India, the channel is owned by Celebrities Management Private Limited, though distribution now stretches across 110-plus countries, with the UAE standing out as a key market in the Middle East.
The story starts back in 2008 with the first-ever program, "Xplore Austria," before the channel officially launched on February 2, 2011. By 2016, Travelxp had become the first travel channel with true 4K HDR content, and that same year Travelxp pushed into Europe through Travelxp HD Europe in Germany, Hungary, Poland and the UK. 2016 also marked the point when the channel partnered with Etisalat to bring Travelxp HD into the Asian Choice and Western Choice packages in the UAE. A standalone OTT platform and Android TV app followed in 2021. Between 2025 and 2026, the lineup kept growing, adding France through Orange and Bouygues, Sweden through Telia, Lithuania through CGates, plus Hungary and North Macedonia.
Programming leans heavily into travel, culture, food, adventure, heritage and spa content, with familiar titles like Quest, Fooddicted, 10 Days in Korea, XP Guide, Backpack and City Break. What sets the channel apart is the fully original catalog, shot across more than 100 countries and available in 25-plus languages. Timeless Tamil Nadu picked up a National Film Award in 2025, and the documentary All I Want for Christmas, about Ukrainian refugees, premiered in both Helsinki and Delhi. Dubai gets its own specials too, like "Dubai - A City Of Superlatives."
The core audience skews toward travel and food lovers, roughly 25 to 54 years old, mid to upper income, spread across India, Europe, the Middle East and Asia Pacific.
Access-wise, Travelxp shows up on pay TV through DTH, cable and IPTV in over 118 countries, plus dedicated apps for iOS, Android, Android TV, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV and the web. Anyone wanting the sharper picture can subscribe to the RED Plus tier for 4K HDR on the travelxp.com streaming platform, while RED covers standard HD. Downloads for offline viewing and syncing across devices are both built in. Actual load speed and stream smoothness will vary by connection, worth testing a few episodes to see how the stream holds up.
Given how many telecom partners carry this channel, from Etisalat to Orange to Telia, plus a National Film Award under its belt, most people stumble onto Travelxp through the TV package they already pay for or a recommendation from someone who's already tuned in, not by researching the channel first. Tap into an episode and that's usually enough to know if the channel is a fit.
Worth bookmarking the page for faster access next time, and passing it along to anyone else hunting for new travel content is an easy call.
