Diwali Vacations are just a month away and a holiday away from the city sounds fantastic, isn't it? Trips Wheel Pvt Ltd found some interesting facts. Take a look at where Indians are headed for a Diwali break in 2026
1. Bangkok
Use your mid-week break to explore this action-packed city. A short 4-hour flight away, this shopping haven makes for a great Diwali break, given that there is a sizeable Hindu and Indian population here. There are lots of Hindu temples in Bangkok, adding to the visual delight of the festival of lights. You can also combine your Bangkok trip with a short beach break close by.
