Best Long Weekend Trips for Dussehra & Diwali 2026: Real Fares From ₹21,321
₹21,321 to Dubai, ₹49,846 to Bali — real round-trip fares for the Dussehra and Diwali long weekends, pulled from Trripah's nightly fare board, with the leave days that make each one work.
Two real numbers to start: Mumbai to Dubai, ₹21,321 round-trip for the Dussehra window (15–20 October 2026), and Mumbai to Bali, ₹49,846 for the same dates (15–22 October 2026, 7 nights). Both from Trripah's nightly-refreshed fare board, not a rounded "from ₹X" estimate.
Why the dates say 15 October, not 20 October
Trripah's fare board prices a fixed grid of departure dates — roughly the 15th and 28th of each month — across every route, not arbitrary calendar days. Dussehra itself falls on Tuesday, 20 October 2026, so the nearest priced departure (15 October) is 4 days ahead of the actual holiday, not an exact match. It's still the honest number for anyone extending the Dussehra weekend into a longer break, which is how most of these trips actually get booked. One day of leave (Monday, 19 October) turns Dussehra into a 4-day weekend, Saturday 17 to Tuesday 20 — check live boards for the departure date that matches your own leave plan.
Diwali 2026 works the other way round
Diwali falls on Sunday, 8 November 2026. The nearest priced departure is 15 November — 7 days after, not before. Diwali is usually spent with family at home, so the international trip for a lot of travellers is the week right after, once Diwali and Bhai Dooj obligations are done, which is exactly what 15 November prices. Taking Friday 6 and Monday 9 off separately stretches the Diwali holiday itself into a 5-day break, 6–10 November, if that's the window you want instead.

When is Dussehra 2026 and how much leave does it need?
Dussehra falls on Tuesday, 20 October 2026. Taking one day of leave — Monday, 19 October — turns it into a 4-day weekend, Saturday 17 to Tuesday 20, without touching a Friday.
When is Diwali 2026 and how much leave does it need?
Diwali falls on Sunday, 8 November 2026. Taking Friday 6 and Monday 9 off stretches it into a 5-day break, 6–10 November. Most international leisure travel around Diwali actually happens the week after, once family celebrations are done, which is why the fares above are priced for 15 November, not the 8th.
Which international destination is cheapest for Dussehra or Diwali 2026?
Dubai, by a wide margin — ₹21,321 from Mumbai for the Dussehra window and ₹30,295 from Bangalore for the Diwali window, both under 5 nights. Bangkok and Singapore follow close behind. Bali and Tokyo cost more but suit a longer trip rather than a quick long-weekend hop.
