This year, Gandhi Jayanti falls on a Friday,<\/em> giving travel enthusiasts the perfect window to plan a quick getaway without having to use up their precious paid leave. The Gandhi Jayanti long weekend 2026 is just the excuse you need to step away from the usual routine, hit the road, and make the most of the extra day. With October bringing cooler mornings and greener landscapes across many parts of India, it\u2019s a great time to leave the city behind and see where the road leads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

1. Mumbai to Igatpuri – Ghats, Greenery & Quick Escapes<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Route: Mumbai \u2192 Thane \u2192 Bhiwandi \u2192 Shahapur \u2192 Kasara \u2192 Kasara Ghat \u2192 Igatpuri via NH-160<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just a couple of hours out of Mumbai, the landscape starts changing almost before the city traffic has properly disappeared. For anyone planning a Gandhi Jayanti long weekend trip, Igatpuri will be especially inviting in October, when the Sahyadris are still lush after the monsoon and the Kasara Ghat drive comes with misty bends, cool air and plenty of chai stops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those coming from farther away can secure cheap flights to Mumbai<\/a> before starting the drive. For a more planned stay, all-inclusive Nashik tour packages<\/a> can also keep the little details simple. And if an overnight stop sounds good, browsing the best hotels in Igatpuri<\/a> will give travellers plenty of options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

2. Rishikesh to Chopta – Into the Mountains<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Route: Rishikesh \u2192 Devprayag \u2192 Srinagar \u2192 Rudraprayag \u2192 Agastmuni \u2192 Ukhimath \u2192 Duggalbitta \u2192 Chopta via NH-7<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once the road begins following the rivers, the usual holiday mood starts feeling a little different. During the Gandhi Jayanti 2026 long weekend, October will bring clearer Himalayan views and crisp mountain weather, while the changing scenery from Devprayag to Chopta keeps the drive interesting almost the entire way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Travellers planning a longer trip in can look for all-inclusive Uttarakhand tour packages<\/a> if they want the trip details arranged together. The best hotels in Rishikesh<\/a> are also worth checking for a comfortable start. Those travelling from farther away can compare cheap flights to Dehradun<\/a> before setting off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Delhi to Bharatpur – The Golden Triangle & Avian Trail<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Route: New Delhi \u2192 Greater Noida \u2192 Mathura \u2192 Agra \u2192 Fatehpur Sikri \u2192 Bharatpur via Yamuna Expressway and NH-21<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, this is the one for travellers who don’t mind mixing heritage with a little birdwatching during their long weekend plans. For travellers coming from other parts of India, cheap flights to Delhi<\/a> can be secured in advance. October will bring the first waves of international migratory birds to Keoladeo Ghana National Park, while the cooler weather makes exploring Bharatpur’s wetlands by bicycle much more enjoyable. Before heading out, travellers can check the best hotels in Bharatpur<\/a> for a comfortable stay. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

4. Jodhpur to Jaisalmer – Straight Through the Thar<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Route: Jodhpur \u2192 Osian \u2192 Pokhran \u2192 Ramdevra \u2192 Jaisalmer via NH-11<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Out in the desert, everything suddenly feels bigger – the sky, the horizon, even the distance between two chai breaks. Among the October long weekends, this stretch will be a particularly scenic choice because October brings more comfortable desert conditions for a relaxed drive along the wide, open NH 11. Those travelling from another city can compare cheap flights to Jodhpur<\/a> before picking up the road trip. For a little more comfort before the desert drive, travellers can browse the best hotels in Jodhpur<\/a>. For travellers who want to skip planning, all-inclusive Jaisalmer tour packages<\/a> are another option, with stays and sightseeing arranged together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

5. Bengaluru to Ooty – Forest Roads & Cool Air<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Corrected Route: Bengaluru \u2192 Ramanagara \u2192 Mandya \u2192 Mysuru \u2192 Nanjangud \u2192 Gundlupet \u2192 Bandipur \u2192 Mudumalai \u2192 Gudalur \u2192 Ooty via NH-275, NH-766, and NH-181<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s a lovely moment when the busy Bengaluru-Mysuru stretch gives way to forest roads and the air starts getting noticeably cooler. For an October long weekend trip, the Bandipur and Mudumalai sections will add greenery and wildlife to the journey before Ooty brings in its familiar misty hill-station charm. A quick search for all-inclusive Ooty tour packages<\/a> can work well for travellers who’d rather bundle parts of the trip together. The best hotels in Ooty<\/a> can make that cool evening even more comfortable, while cheap flights to Bangalore<\/a> can be useful for those arriving from other cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Kochi to Munnar – Slowly Into Tea Country<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Rainy<\/a>

Route: Kochi \u2192 Aluva \u2192 Perumbavoor \u2192 Muvattupuzha \u2192 Kothamangalam \u2192 Neriamangalam \u2192 Adimali \u2192 Munnar via NH-85<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best part of this drive is that it doesn’t need to feel rushed at all. As part of the long weekend gateway from Kochi, the climb towards Munnar will be particularly pleasant in October, with waterfalls, winding roads and layers of tea plantations gradually replacing the city landscape. Travellers arriving from outside Kerala can look at cheap flights to Kochi<\/a> before setting off towards the hills. For a comfortable night after the drive, the best hotels in Munnar<\/a> are easy to work into the itinerary. All-inclusive Munnar tour packages<\/a> can also be checked if a simpler travel plan sounds better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
