Top 3 Picks for Your Republic Day Long Weekend Travel!

The first long weekend of 2018 is almost here! And if you’ve still not made plans then don’t fret. If you leave on the 26^th (Friday, or better yet, a night before ), you get a 3-day long weekend. Here are some cool travel ideas for your ideal escape on the Republic Day long weekend: 

Auli, Himachal Pradesh, India - for Skiing

The month of January engulfs Auli in dense layers of snow, which makes the hill town an inviting ski destination. Located at an elevation of 2,500 metres (8,200 ft) to 3,050 metres (10,010 ft) above sea level, skiing in Auli (or even trudging the snowy slopes in snow boots) is quite a thrill!

How to reach: The nearest airport is Jolly Grant Airport in Dehradun, about 270 kilometres (170 mi) from Auli. Those opting to travel by train, can head to Auli from Rishikesh Railway Station (250 kilometres away) or Dehradun Railway Station (290 kilometres).
