Head to Rishikesh and take a tour of the holy shrines and witness the everyday evening ceremony of Ganga aarti. Rishikesh will definitely refresh your mind and rejuvenate your body. Even Ganpatipul­e, a town on the Konkan Coast of western India can be an ideal holiday spot during the long weekend. Apart from the 400-year-old Ganesha temple, the beautiful village of Velneshwar, 41 km from the

town, boasts of a peaceful, coconut-fringed beach, where one can relax.

Road trips: Keen to avoid the crowd and escape to the country’s quiet corners with your couple? Then book your choice of luxury car and enjoy the freedom of driving wherever you want, whenever you want, in style and luxury. For those who want to feel involved in the journey, the environmen­t, and the view, it is ideal to take a road trip with your loved one and explore a new city or town.

If an offbeat destinatio­n is on your mind, then head to Chail, a hill station in Himachal Pradesh. Trek up to Kali Ka Tibba, relish hot pakodas on your way and dip your feet into cold water.

best drives one can go for from Chennai.
