Long weekends 2026–2027
13 long weekends between now and the end of 2027. 7 of them need no leave at all. For each one: the days to take off to stretch it, and three places from Delhi that are in season.
Dates follow the central government (DoPT) holiday list for Delhi offices. Your employer's list may differ, and festivals that depend on the moon can move by a day. “Restricted holiday” means one you can usually pick from your office's optional list instead of using leave.

Not sure where to go?
Pick a long weekend and Tavora shows the places you can reach after work and get back from in time, with the train, bus, flight or cab, the stay, every day planned and one all-in price per person for the whole trip. We check it live within minutes, send one secure payment link for the whole trip, then book your trains (as RailRoute, an IRCTC-authorised agent), buses or flights, stay and cabs. Tickets are issued after you pay and we confirm the seats; waitlisted trains aren't sold, and anything we can't confirm is refunded in full.
