This looks exciting, isn’t it? Let’s see where all can you go in & around the city for this mega weekend. We’ve included both national & international destinations on the list so that you can choose the most perfect one for yourself.
Ladakh
This is the place where 1/3rd of the people have already visited, 1/3rd of the people are already there holidaying, and the rest of the 1/3rd are dying to visit. If you fall into the last category, you should take up this trip on this mega weekend. You can easily visit most of the destinations in the Ladakh region in 10 days.
Vistara is the best airline to fly anywhere in India. They have a great connection between New Delhi & Leh which allows you to rest for the entire day in Leh.
Kerala
God’s own country – Kerala has many famous & equal amounts of unexplored destinations in the state. Take a road trip from Kochi to all the places. 9 to 10 days should be enough to cover 2-3 towns. Also, Kerala’s beauty is at its peak during monsoon. So stop thinking, start planning!
Thailand
The good ol’ Thailand. The country that needs no introduction for us. Get on a cheap flight, get a visa on arrival, stay in pretty hostels & get lost in parties and shopping for days. You can either go crazy in Bangkok or stay in peace in places like Phuket, Surat Thani. If you are interested in history & religion, you should spend more days around Sukhothai & Chiang Mai area.
Indonesia
Indonesia is much more than Bali, guys! Explore other islands, other regions of Indonesia in this long weekend. Yogyakarta, Komodo Island, Gili Islands & other regions are waiting to be discovered. Give them a chance.
UAE
The epitome of luxury. Travel to Abu Dhabi, explore the Shaikh Zayed Mosque & Ferrari World. Then head to Dubai & stay there for 5-6 days. Since Dubai is a luxurious destination, we recommend JW Marriott Dubai for the most comfortable stay. Explore major attractions of Dubai like Burj Khalifa, Burj Al Arab, The Dubai Mall, Palm Islands, Dubai Museum, Dubai Dophinarium & much more!
Now that you have a list of these destinations, start planning & packing. This sort of long weekend isn’t going to come back anytime sooner. 😉
