The last week of the month is bliss, with Buddha Purnima (Monday, April 30) and Labour Day (Tuesday, May 1) making it ideal for some time away from the city.

June
After a dry May comes some respite in June, with Eid ul-Fitr on Friday the 15th making the third weekend of the month a bit more relaxing.
7/11
August
Always our favourite month for holidays, with Mumbai’s monsoon at its peak. After a dull July, enjoy consecutive extended weekends from 15th (Independence Day), 17th (Parsi New Year), 18th (Saturday), 19th (Sunday). This is followed by Eid ul-Adha on 22nd, Onam on 24th, and of course Saturday (25th) and Sunday (26th).
Here's a tip: You can make it a 12-day holiday if you take leave on 16th (Thursday), 20th (Monday), 21st (Tuesday) and 23rd (Thursday).
