FESTIVALS & EVENTS
Planning an international vacation on the Diwali weekend without breaking the bank? You’re in luck! We just compiled a list of places where you can fly to and back in under INR 30,000 only. Now, don’t let anything stop you from taking that well-deserved vacation.
Lose yourself in Bali’s popular beaches of Kuta, Seminyak and Kerobokan, or just hang out at the not-so-popular, Nusa Lembongan beach. Take a family trip to Sanur, or savour a luxurious getaway on Bukit Peninsula. Whatever you do, do not miss Ubud, as it is the heart of Bali—a place to experience the island’s culture, village life and ancient monuments, all at once.
Where to Stay: Grand Mirage Resort & Thalasso, Nusa Dua
Tariff: INR 6,102* per night

Hong Kong is as much about its cultural and culinary experiences as it is about its iconic skyline. Take a ride on the historic double-decker tram, cheer with the local crowd at the city’s horse races, or simply gaze out at the island’s harbour. Don’t forget to go on a shopping spree to buy everything from Chinese gowns to specialty knives!
Where to Stay: Park Hotel, Kowloon
Tariff: INR 6,642* per night
The Gateway to Africa, Nairobi is Africa's most popular cosmopolitan city. It may be a concrete jungle like any other capital in the world, but it still manages to makes space for Africa’s signature natural beauty. Travel to Nairobi to enjoy a wildlife safari, and find the ‘Big Five’ in the Masai Mara National Reserve. Beware, though, of Nairobi’s notorious reputation as the robbery capital of the world.
Where to Stay: Safari Park Hotel, Thika Road
Tariff: INR 13,527* per night

A journey to Cairo is timeless, with the 19th century palaces and an enticing view of the pyramids of Giza. Enjoy the buzzing city and tap into the energy of the crowd that can put even India to shame. Owing to the recent events, tourism had slowed down in Egypt, but is on its way up now. In fact, it is the best time to travel to Egypt if you are looking for less crowds and better travel deals.
Where to Stay: Concorde El Salam Hotel, Heliopolis

The Langkawi archipelago is Malaysia’s most precious jewel. Crystal clear waters, pristine beaches and the jungle cover makes Langkawi a tropical paradise—the kind where there’s no lack of spas, seafood and beach bars. Not to forget, Malaysia has been a duty free destination since 1987, and is the perfect place to buy electronics and other stuff. If you do decide to visit Malaysia this Diwali, get yourself the new iPhone. You will be able to fund your return tickets from the savings—how’s that for a Diwali gift?
Where to Stay: Meritus Pelangi Beach Resort & Spa, Pantai Cenang
