2017 is here and with it comes planning for trips and travels in India or abroad for rest of the year. Planning trips ahead of time not only costs less but also leads to less last-minute anxiety about finding an accommodation and train or flight tickets.

This year comes with a list of long weekends and that opportunity should not be missed.
