2023 has a lot of weekends can be turned into long weekend holidays, provided you plan well, and plan in advance.
Jan 26, Thursday: Republic Day; Jan 28 is a Saturday; Jan 29 is a Sunday. So, take a day off on Jan 27, Friday, to enjoy a four-day holiday.
Now, given that long weekends are a rarity, and planning takes time, here are some of our suggestions for you.
Mandarmani has one of the most undervalued beaches in India, and you can get a view of the beach right outside your balcony.
In Mukteshwar, you can get the perfect view of the Himalayas, and a mesmerising sunset. This is the perfect season for a getaway, given that you can see some snow too.
Pondy, as Pondicherry is popularly known, is a former French colony. It combines traditional Indian sensibilities with French architecture, offering the best of both cultures.
Mamallapuram or Mahabalipuram is known for its beautifully carved temples and rock-cut caverns with gorgeous white-sand beaches.
Mayodia is one of the most underrated places. During January, it receives snowfall like no other place, and is absolutely unmissable.
Plan your first long weekend now or you can fall asleep on your couch while watching Netflix (whatever works for you)...
