Diwali break abroad from India: short trips

Diwali is on 8 November 2026, but there is no national week off: leave depends on your state, employer or school. Many travellers combine the festival days with a few days of leave for a five-day trip abroad.

What to weigh

  • If you celebrate at home, some families prefer travelling just after Diwali (planning suggestion, not a fare check).
  • Thailand, Sri Lanka and the Gulf are nearer ideas to compare from north India (editorial suggestion).
  • November is pleasant in much of South-East Asia and the Middle East.
