We’ve put together a list of effortlessly accessible locations. You can drive to these locations immediately or take a direct flight from one of the city’s major airports. No matter where you are based in India, one of these places is near you. So plan your trip for the perfect long weekend vacation.

Khajjiar

Khajjiar and much of the Chamber region should be your choice if you enjoy a drive in the mountains. Closer to the more popular Dalhousie, the Khajjiar area is less crowded and will be a quick vacation in the Himalayas.

Kodaikanal

If you are in and around Bangalore and are looking for a long weekend, Kodaikanal is the place for you. To say the least, it has the charm of a typical old school. There is also famous homemade chocolate here.

Kumarakom

You can take a direct flight to Trivandrum or Kochi in Kerala and land in Kumarakom’s small backwater paradise. Check-in here for long weekend relaxation. Kumarakom also has a luxurious hideaway, one of the best spas and Ayurvedic centers in the country.

Kanatal

Uttarakhand Kanatal is the perfect hillside vacation for those who love remote areas. Close to Delhi NCR and other major cities in the region, it’s perfect for a hassle-free long weekend drive in the Himalayas.

Meghalaya

A direct flight to Shillong or Guwahati will take you to Meghalaya, where the clouds live. This may just be the start of a love affair with Northeast India. Besides, it’s also a perfect monsoon escape.

Nalanda and Rajgir

Nalanda and Rajgir in Bihar are two of the most unusual places to visit on long weekends. You can take a direct flight to Patna from any of the country’s major airports and experience the lesser-known aspects of Bihar. Interesting lessons in history and Buddhism await you in Nalanda, but a monsoon drive in the countryside around Rajgir is like a good weekend drive.
