Winter school holidays: what to know before you fly
Winter break is the one long holiday in the middle of the school year, and many North Indian families travel then — to see snow in Kashmir and Himachal, to the beaches of Goa and Kerala, or abroad to Singapore, Thailand and Dubai. Winter dates differ by state and by school, so check your child's school calendar.
The first days of January overlap with the New Year rush, so fares are usually higher at the start of the break. Travelling a few days later — for example 4–5 January — and returning before the 15th can work out better.
