Doesn’t it seem like we celebrated the arrival of 2018 just yesterday? Time seems to be flying amidst the daily grind. November’s already begun and we’re all wondering how the year went by so quickly. Well, we scarcely had any vacations, owing largely to the fact that this year was cursed with the overlapping of weekends and public holidays, barely leaving any room for furlough.
Stop brooding because here’s our favourite part! * drumrolls * We present to you the list of long weekends in the coming year, guaranteeing you this - there are a confirmed 15 long weekends on the cards. All you need to do is plan your adventures and count days till the new year is in!
If you’re stuck for ideas we’ve got you covered. For the adventure-hungry here are some active weekend getaways around Mumbai, for the beach bums, here are some local beaches to explore but if you just need to put your feet up for a couple of days, our Alibaug homestays are the place to be.
