<\/p>\n\n\n\n

January<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

January is the first eventful month of the year and luckily, there are two Long Weekends 2025 waiting right around the corner. The New Year and Makar Sankranti are important days in the country. Both of these important events can be turned into a blissful long weekend.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Long Weekend 1:<\/strong>
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Monday, 26th January: Republic Day
<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

March<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

March has 1 long weekend. The Holi weekend falls on the second weekend of the month. People who want to extend their vacation can do so conveniently!

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

April<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Good Friday falls in April this year, making it the perfect time to visit churches to celebrate the occasion. Those who do not celebrate can take a vacation with their friends and family.

May <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Labour Day and the festival of Buddha Poornima fall in the month of May, giving us yet another long weekend in 2025 to plan an enjoyable vacation.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Long Weekend 1:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

May 1st – Friday – Labour Day<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"
Namgyal Monastery<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n


During Buddha Poornima, consider paying a visit to the Mahabodhi temple in Bodhgaya or the monastery in Dharamshala. For Labour Day, you can visit any of the hill stations, assuming the temperatures in the plains will be very high. For a change, the mountain tourists can visit the beaches of Goa. Book hotels in Dharamshala<\/a> or hotels in Patna<\/a> for Buddha Purnima celebrations. Visit offbeat beaches in India<\/a> for a surreal time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, there are no long weekends in June, July, and August 2026, so we will directly move to the dates in September.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

September <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In the month of September, we have a long weekend during the first week owing to Eid Milad and Onam celebrations. North Indians and a few south Indian states may not have a holiday for Onam so people from these places can take a leave of absence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Long Weekend:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Monday, 14th September: Ganesh Chaturthi<\/strong>
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"It

It is a visual treat to see the festival celebrations of Ganesh Chaturthi in Mumbai and parts of Maharashtra.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

October<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We start the month with Gandhi Jayanti, which opens doors to interesting travel opportunities. October is also the month of Devi Navaratri or Dussehra, and the main three days of the festival fall during a weekend. Diwali too is in October this year, potentially creating a long weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Long Weekend 1:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Friday, 2nd October: Gandhi Jayanti
Saturday, 4th October: Weekend
Sunday, 5th October: Weekend<\/strong>
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Long Weekend 2:<\/strong>
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Monday, 10th October: Durga Puja
<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The
Pandal in Kolkata<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The best places to visit during this time are the pandals in Kolkata Durga Puja<\/a>, the capital of West Bengal or Mysuru Palace<\/a>. Dussehra is the time when these cities brighten up in vibrant colours to celebrate the festival and thank the Goddess for ridding the world of evil. You will see several pandals with colourful and creative idols of the Goddess in Kolkata while Mysuru experiences heavy processions. Book hotels in Mysore<\/a> or hotels in Kolkata<\/a> to watch the festivities closely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Diwali, tourists can visit Ayodhya and be part of the celebrations in the Ram Janmabhoomi Temple<\/a>. Book hotels in Ayodhya<\/a> for a great time via the Treebo Club app or website.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

December<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

December is all about joy and merriment! The Christmas festival brings yet another one of the Long Weekends 2025 for enjoyable vacation time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Long Weekend:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Friday, 25th December: Christmas<\/strong>
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The
Shillong Christmas Tree
<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The best places to visit for enchanting Christmas celebrations are Shillong and Goa. This is where you will see the churches adorned with lights and Christmas trees. You can explore the local Christmas markets, try the sweet treats from the bakeries, celebrate the occasion with locals and also grab a lot of souvenirs to take back home. The weather in Goa is exceptional during this time and you can party on the beaches while singing the Christmas carols. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you plan to visit Goa during Christmas, book your rooms at Hotels in Goa<\/a> to find top-notch properties during the time when the tourist rush is a lot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With this list of long weekends in 2025, embark on an exciting journey to explore the hidden gems of our exceptionally beautiful country!
