Gandhi Jayanti Long Weekend: 2–4 October
No leaves. No complicated calculations. Just a three-day weekend waiting to be used.
October is also one of those months when India starts opening up beautifully for travel. The monsoon has eased in many destinations, the weather is becoming more comfortable, and the festive season is just around the corner.
Where to go
If you want to make these three days feel longer, pick somewhere where you don't spend half the weekend getting there and back.
Best for: Short backpacking trips, road trips and post-monsoon escapes.
Dussehra Long Weekend: 17–20 October
Dussehra falls on Tuesday, 20 October 2026. Take Monday, October 19 off, and you can turn the weekend into a four-day break.
This is where one strategic leave starts doing some serious work.
The weather in many parts of India is getting better for exploring, making this a great window for a longer road trip or a backpacking escape.
Where to go
If you have another leave to spare, take Monday and Tuesday off around the holiday calendar applicable to you and stretch the break even further.
Best for: Backpacking, road trips, mountain escapes and cultural travel.
Christmas Long Weekend: 25–27 December
Christmas falls on a Friday in 2026, giving you a natural three-day weekend.
And this one practically comes with its own travel soundtrack.
December is peak travel season in many parts of India, so whether you're looking for snow, sunshine or festive celebrations, this is one weekend you should plan early.
Where to go
And if you can add a couple of leaves before or after Christmas, this is your chance to turn a three-day break into a proper year-end holiday.
Best for: Christmas celebrations, snow trips, beaches and year-end getaways.
