Diwali vacation is one of the busiest travel periods for families in Gujarat. Schools close, businesses take a break and everyone wants to travel at the same time — which is why early planning makes all the difference.

- Dubai: pleasant weather begins, and the city is festive and family-friendly.
- Singapore: a year-round favourite with theme parks and great vegetarian food.
- Thailand: beaches and islands enter the dry season.
- Vietnam: a great choice for autumn travel in the north and centre.
Domestic ideas
- Rajasthan: forts, palaces and festive markets in pleasant weather.
- Kerala: post-monsoon greenery and calm backwaters.
- Goa: the beach season begins.
- Andaman Islands: clear water and the start of the dry season.
