India’s Long Weekends 2026, from Bangalore
Every real long weekend left on India’s 2026 calendar, matched against Trripah’s nightly fare check. The scraper prices a fixed set of dates, not every day — so each card below shows the closest priced departure to the actual holiday, and says exactly how many days off it is. Nothing here is rounded up to look neater than the data.
Gandhi Jayanti
2 October 2026 (Friday)
No leave needed — the holiday falls on a Friday, running straight into the weekend.
Dussehra
20 October 2026 (Tuesday)
One day of leave (Monday 19 Oct) turns this into a 4-day weekend, Saturday 17 to Tuesday 20.
Diwali

Diwali itself falls on a Sunday. Taking Friday 6 and Monday 9 off stretches it into a 5-day break, 6–10 Nov.

Both holidays fall on Fridays in back-to-back weeks — a natural year-end travel window, no extra leave required.
Common questions
Prices are the cheapest found on the nearest priced date for each destination, not a live quote — confirm before booking. Holiday dates and leave-planning notes are checked against a live 2026 calendar, not carried over from a generic list.
