Why Smart Travelers Are Booking Their Holi & Good Friday Trips Right Now (And You Should Too!)

If you think it is too early to talk about March, think again.

The smartest travelers know a secret: The "Sweet Spot" for booking flights is exactly 60-90 days in advance. That means if you want to travel for Holi (March 4) or Good Friday (April 3) without burning a hole in your pocket, the time to act is now.

In 2026, the calendar has aligned perfectly to give you two massive long weekends back-to-back. Let's break down the dates and the best places to go before the "Sold Out" signs appear.


1. The "Holi" Long Weekend (March 1 - March 4)

  • The Dates: March 1 (Sunday) to March 4 (Wednesday).
  • The Hack: Holi falls on a Wednesday. If you take just two days off (Mon & Tue), you get a 5-day vacation starting from Feb 28 (Saturday).+1
  • Where to Go:
    • Mathura & Vrindavan (For Culture): Witness the world-famous Lathmar Holi and Phoolon Wali Holi. It’s a lifetime experience.
      • Travel Tip: Hotels in Vrindavan are already 60% booked. Secure your stay at a premium hotel near Banke Bihari Temple today to avoid last-minute price surges.
    • Pushkar, Rajasthan (For Vibes): The "Pushkar Holi Festival" is legendary among youth and international tourists. Electronic music, organic colors, and a global crowd make it the coolest party in India.
      • Getting There: The easiest way is to take a train or bus to Ajmer. Check our luxury bus services to Pushkar that offer comfortable sleeper berths for the overnight journey.

2. The "Good Friday" Weekend (April 3 - April 5)

  • The Dates: April 3 (Friday) to April 5 (Sunday).
  • The Hack: It’s a natural 3-day weekend! No leaves needed.
  • Where to Go:
    • Rishikesh (For Adventure): By April, the water in the Ganges is slightly warmer, making it perfect for rafting.
    • Kashmir (For Tulips): April is when the famous Indira Gandhi Memorial Tulip Garden in Srinagar opens. It is Asia's largest tulip garden and a sight to behold.
      • Flight Alert: Flights to Srinagar are currently ₹4,000 - ₹5,000 cheaper than they will be in March. Search for cheap flights to Srinagar on our portal now.

3. International Picks (Visa-Free & Easy)

If you want to escape the domestic rush, these two countries are perfect for a 4-5 day trip in March/April:

  • Nepal (No Visa): Visit the Pashupatinath Temple for Shivaratri (Feb 15) or trek in Pokhara during Holi. It’s affordable and requires no visa.
  • Sri Lanka (Free Tourist Visa): The west coast beaches (Bentota, Hikkaduwa) are sunny and perfect in March.
    • Visa Help: While it's free, you still need an ETA. Our visa experts can handle the online registration for you in minutes.

Why You Will Regret Waiting

Every year, we see the same story:

  1. January: "Oh, Holi is far away."
  2. February: "Let's check flights... Wait, why is Delhi-Goa ₹15,000 one way?"
  3. March: "Let's just stay home."

Don't be that person. The deals you see on FlyingEasyGo today are the lowest they will be for the rest of the year.
