If you are a travel enthusiast, or find travelling a way to get away from your boredom and all your worries, the upcoming year brings good news. The year 2020 comes with nine-long weekends, giving you ample chance to rejuvenate yourself after a hectic schedule. So, it’s time to buy a new travel diary.
Here’s a month-wise list of holidays that you should look forward to:
February: Maha Shivratri is on February 21, marking the day as an optional holiday for many. If you take a leave on Friday, or if your workplace gives you a break on the day, you can combine it with Saturday and Sunday to enjoy the long weekend.
March: A 4-day weekend is in March, around Holi, which is falling on Tuesday. If you take a leave on Monday, you can take a long weekend holiday from March 7 to 10.
April: In April, there is a three-day weekend. Mahavir Jayanti falls on April 6. One can club it with Saturday and Sunday to opt for three days of rest.
From April 10 to 14 is another long weekend. Good Friday is on April 10, Baisakhi on April 13 and then Ambedkar Jayanti on April 14. Taking Saturday and Sunday with the three holidays will make for a five-day weekend.
May: May 22-25 marks a long weekend, with May 22 (Friday) being Jamat ul-vida, followed by Saturday and Sunday, and Eid-ul-Fitr on Monday, May 25.
July-August: July 31 to August 3 gives you a window to go for a trip. July 31 marks Bakri Eid, which is a holiday. It is followed by Saturday and Sunday, and Raksha Bandhan’s holiday on Monday.
August: Another one in the loop is August 29-31. If you take Onam’s leave on August 31, Monday, it can be combined with weekend to make a three-day long holiday.
November: The festive season in India begins in November. Diwali is on November 14, which is a Saturday. If you get extra leaves for Dhanteras (Thursday) and Choti Diwali (Friday), followed by Bhai Dooj on Monday, you get a straight five-day off.
December: You get another long-weekend around Christmas next year. With December 25 being a Friday, you can club it with the weekend for a three-day rest.
* Ganesh Chaturthi in August and Dusshera in October are falling on the weekend.
