Plan your travel in advance for all the long weekends in 2024: Check full list here
As we ring in the New Year in a little over two weeks, many of us have planned, made bookings, and are set to travel to celebrate the festive period and welcome 2024 with a bang! But, if you are one of those who couldn't take a break as 2023 comes to an end, worry not. There are ample of long weekends lined up all through 2024, where you can plan and take that much needed break along with family and loved ones to ensure, you're rejuvenated for all the insurmountable tasks that lay ahead.

With a little bit of planning and early bookings, we can guarantee you'd be able to enjoy at least 8-10 short vacations, where you could even visit foreign destinations, while not breaking the bank. All you’d have to do is circle all your important dates, like exams of children, special birthdays that you can’t miss, your friends' marriage and anything you feel you would have to remain in your city to attend. Let's take a look at the month-wise list of all extended weekends that most of us will be able to enjoy in the New Year.

We'd sign this off here woth one tip: Pick those weekends when you know not many people would travel. For example, make bookings during the Ganesh Chaturthi weekend, but avoid the Independence Day weekend as more people travel during this period.
