Frequently asked questions
What is a long weekend in India?
A long weekend in India occurs when a public holiday falls on a Monday or Friday, giving you a 3-day weekend without using any vacation days.
What is a bridge day?
A bridge day is a working day between a public holiday and a weekend. Taking that one day off creates a stretch of 4 or more consecutive days off. For example, if a holiday falls on Thursday, taking Friday off gives you a 4-day weekend.
How many long weekend opportunities are there in India in 2026?
In 2026, India has 24 vacation extension opportunities — a combination of natural long weekends and bridge days.
When are the best long weekends to travel in India in 2026?
The best long weekends for travel in India depend on the season and your destination. Spring and autumn bridge days often offer the best mix of good weather and fewer crowds.
