With hectic work schedules or the children’s school calendars, it is becoming very difficult for most of us to take long holidays. Taking a break and escaping into the wild, refreshes us from our fast-paced city lives. It helps us cope with the daily hustle and bustle of the city. Being one with nature and appreciating everything it has to offer, gives us a sense of tranquillity and peace, that we strive to find in our daily lives.
Long weekends are perfect to take these mini vacations without hindering work life or the children’s daily routine. You can take off from the city without the hassles of applying for leave from work or the children’s schools.With the popularity and high demand of safari holidays and only a limited number of permits available, we suggest you plan your safari well ahead of time to avoid disappointment.
Here is a list of holidays / long weekends with the most of the Indian holidays covered, so that, you can plan your safari holiday well in advance.
