festival

This year’s festival will blend the age-old ritual of diya-lighting with state-of-the-art projection mapping, laser shows, fireworks, and live performances, promising visitors an unforgettable experience

One of the most awaited festivals in the Kathmandu Valley — the Himalayan Kingdom’s spiritual heart with seven UNESCO World Heritage Sites — Indra Jatra is celebrated over eight lively days

India’s festive travel offers contrasts: Dharamshala’s quiet retreats, Onam’s cultural buzz, eco-friendly escapes in Wayanad and Sikkim, and family trips turning traditions into memories

The festival promoted tribal tourism, fostered community integration, and created livelihood opportunities through local product sales and homestay participation

According to the India Holiday Report, nearly 75 per cent of respondents expressed a strong interest in experience-led holidays, reflecting a broader trend where travel is no longer confined to specific seasons
