January, with its varying winter temperatures (depending on where in the country you are) and the promise of a more fulfilling and economically stable year ahead, is often full of new year resolutions that may or may not make it past the month. During these trying times, as many of us struggle to step out of the holiday mood and adjust yet again to the monotony of everyday life, it’s the possibilities, the hope of travelling that keeps many of us going.
So here it is! *drumrolls* We present to you the list of long weekends in the coming year, guaranteeing you this - there are a confirmed 12 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.
