KVS winter break: find a family trip from Chennai
This page covers Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan (KVS) schools only. A revised KVS headquarters memorandum dated 19 January 2026 lists the Chennai Regional Office among summer-station Group B regions, with winter break from 23 December 2026 to 2 January 2027 inclusive. KV MAHE is excluded from the Chennai list. It does not cover other CBSE schools, state-board or private schools, or every school in Chennai. The return-to-school date is not stated here; check your Vidyalaya. The example is a seven-day family trip in December from Chennai.

What to weigh
- KVS schools only: other CBSE, state-board and private schools set their own dates.
- The break is eleven days and includes Christmas and New Year; the seven-day example fits inside it.
- Confirm your own Vidyalaya's reopening date before booking a return.
- The shortlist is a cost-only illustration ranked on modelled cost; the calendar dates do not become an exact-date airfare search, and it does not filter by flight time, direct service, weather or entry rules. Check those yourself.
- The budget is an editable illustration in local currency for a family of four, not a typical, recommended or guaranteed amount.
Questions

- No. Only Kendriya Vidyalayas in the listed KVS region; other schools follow their own boards.
- Are these live prices?
