As per the platform, top 10 most searched domestic destinations by Indian travellers travelling between 13.03.2025 to 16.03.2025 ● Udaipur ● Mumbai ● Rishikesh ● Jaipur ● New Delhi ● Varanasi ● Vrindavan ● Puducherry ● Puri ● Lonavala While many are drawn to the energetic celebrations, an increasing number of people are opting for peaceful alternatives to mark Holi. He also adds that another interesting trend is people opting for wellness retreats in locations like Rishikesh and Kerala, where they can unwind over the long weekend instead of engaging in conventional celebrations. Goa remains a favourite for its laid-back atmosphere, beautiful beaches, and lively celebrations.” The Holi long weekend is also a prime time for staycations and short road trips.
