Thursday holiday can be used as a golden opportunity to make it a long weekend by taking the next day off, i.e. Friday, so one can plan a quick break. One can use this day to visit any cultural attraction in Varanasi or Bodh Gaya or go to a nearby wildlife sanctuary.
Both Varanasi and Bodh Gaya are nice to visit between October and March, when the climate is pleasant and festivals are at their best, making the trip even more spiritual. from Ganga Aarti, Sankat Mochan Music Festival to Kalachakra Festival,Bodh Gaya Mahabodhi Temple. These places are ideal for family get-togethers or as a new place to explore.
