In office and corporate life, people often seek to arrange long weekends so that they can enjoy some travel time or family outings without having to take leave from work. If you have been waiting for such opportunities, then April offers not one, but two long weekends.
Plan these weekends, and you can easily organise a short solo trip or travel with friends and family.
First Long Weekend
The first long weekend falls between April 10 and 14. This extended break begins with Mahavir Jayanti on Thursday, April 10, and ends with Ambedkar Jayanti on Monday, April 14. By taking leave on Friday, April 11, you can enjoy a five-day weekend. As Ambedkar Jayanti is a public holiday in many states, it is a perfect opportunity for travel.
Second Long Weekend
The second long weekend in April occurs from April 18 to 20. This period starts with Good Friday on April 18 and includes Easter Sunday on April 20. Although it is a shorter break of three days, it is still perfect for relaxation or an adventurous getaway.
Travel Plans For The Long Weekends
For travel enthusiasts, the long weekends offer the chance to visit several destinations:
- Shimla-Manali: Ideal for pleasant weather and adventure activities.
- Rishikesh: Perfect for experiencing Ganga Aarti and spirituality.
- Darjeeling: Offers tea estates, toy trains, and stunning views of the Kanchenjunga hills.
- Goa: Excellent for those who prefer the sea over mountains. April is off-season in Goa, so you can enjoy fewer crowds and lower prices.
- Andaman and Nicobar: Perfect for crystal-clear waters, scuba diving, and beautiful sunsets.
