Diwali, the holy festival of lights, enthusiasm, fireworks and dishes, brings a new energy and enthusiasm in everyone's life. On this special occasion, every person wishes to celebrate this festival at their home with their family, parents and old friends. But due to job commitments, corporate deadlines, business responsibilities or other reasons, there are many people who are unable to reach their homes on Diwali. In such a situation, instead of spending Diwali alone in a foreign country or at your workplace, this short holiday can be utilized well for a wonderful trip or vacation. There are many beautiful, peaceful and historical tourist places in India where one can see very pleasant weather and amazing cultural views on the holy occasion of Diwali. Visiting these places will not only remove your loneliness, but your vacation will also become a memorable experience for a lifetime. A relaxing journey in the lap of mountains: Celebrate your unique Diwali in Auli in Uttarakhand and Kasauli in Himachal. If you want to spend some moments of peace and tranquility in the lap of nature, far away from the hectic urban life, then the hilly places of North India can prove to be the best option for you. Auli in Uttarakhand is like a paradise for those who love to spend time amidst snow-clad peaks, tall pine trees and cool breeze. During Diwali, the weather in Auli becomes quite pleasant and a panoramic view of the huge mountain ranges of the Himalayas is visible from here. Apart from this, the small and quiet hill station Kasauli of Himachal Pradesh is also a perfect place for short-term holidays. With colonial period buildings, deodar forests and narrow paths, Kasauli is where you can spend a relaxing Diwali evening with your partner or friends without any crowd. The sight of the flickering lights of lamps and fireworks visible from a distance in these valleys of the mountains will completely captivate your mind. If you want to be immersed in historical and cultural colours, then reach Udaipur in Rajasthan or Orchha in Madhya Pradesh. If you love history, culture, grand palaces and royal pomp, then traveling to Udaipur, the 'city of lakes' of Rajasthan during Diwali holidays can be the most magical experience for you. Tourists from India and abroad come here to see the grand manner in which the huge lakes, palaces and forts of Udaipur are decorated on the holy festival of Deepotsav. The Jagmandir and the sky sparkling with lamps and fireworks floating in the waters of Lake Pichola will make your Diwali like a fairy tale. Apart from this, the historical city of Orchha in Madhya Pradesh is also a hidden treasure for the tourists who seek peace and ancient architecture. When the temples and palaces of Orchha, situated on the banks of Betwa river, glow with the light of lamps, it seems as if you have returned to a bygone golden age. Celebrating Diwali with local culture at these historical places has its own unique pleasure. An exciting and unique experience of celebrating Diwali amid the blue sky and waves on the sea shore. Apart from the mountains and palaces, if you are more attracted to the sea waves, sand and sunset, then you can head towards South India or the west coast. Gokarna of Karnataka or the quiet and less crowded beaches of Goa can prove to be a great destination for this Diwali trip. Sitting on the Kudiya Beach or Half Moon Beach of Gokarna and watching the fireworks in the night sky amid the sound of the waves is a very relaxing feeling in itself. Staying in a traditional cottage built on the beach, enjoying local seafood and having dinner by candlelight will make your Diwali very special and romantic. Forgetting the sorrow of being away from home, the holidays spent in these beautiful and natural places will leave a lasting impression on your heart and mind, and you will be inspired to plan such a trip every year.
