Diwali Departures 2026: 8 Dreamy Indian Getaways (Plus a Europe Escape) You Can Book From Goregaon, Mumbai Right Now

Diwali is right around the corner, and if you're the kind of person who starts planning the vacation before you've even finished planning the pooja, you're going to love this. NFTT World has just dropped its Diwali Departures 2026 lineup, and honestly, it's one of the most complete festive travel line-ups I've seen this year. Kashmir's snow, Kerala's backwaters, Meghalaya's crystal-clear rivers, Leh Ladakh's high-altitude drama, Himachal's pine-scented hills, Uttarakhand's spiritual calm, Arunachal Pradesh's untouched beauty, and Sikkim-Darjeeling's tea-garden charm. Eight destinations. One festival season. Zero excuses.

And here's the best part. Every single package comes with pure vegetarian and Jain food cooked in a separate kitchen, fixed group departures so you know exactly when you're leaving, and all-inclusive pricing that doesn't leave you guessing at checkout. If you're searching for a reliable Diwali tour package from Mumbai, or even scouting a Europe Tour from Goregaon Mumbai for a bigger celebration next year, this guide has you covered.

Let's get into it.

Why Book a Diwali Trip Instead of Staying Home

I get it. Diwali at home has its own magic. The diyas, the rangoli, the sweets your mom insists on making even though you've told her three times you're on a diet. But think about this for a second. What if you swapped the usual firecracker smoke for the actual sound of fireworks echoing off snow-capped mountains in Kashmir? Or watched the sky light up while floating on a houseboat in Kerala's backwaters?

That's the pitch here. NFTT World isn't just selling tour packages. It's selling a completely different way to spend the festival of lights, one that swaps traffic jams and pollution for pine forests, tea gardens, and starry skies. And because these are fixed group departures, you're traveling with people who are just as excited as you are. No awkward small talk required, though you'll probably end up making a few new friends anyway. That's just how these trips go.

The Complete 2026 Diwali Package List

Here's a quick snapshot of everything on offer, because I know you're probably comparing options in five different tabs right now.

Prices are indicative, per person, and GST at 5% applies extra. So budget a little cushion on top of these numbers.

Kashmir: Diwali in Paradise on Earth

Let's start with the showstopper. Kashmir at ₹34,999 for 6 nights and 7 days is honestly a steal when you consider what you're getting. Srinagar's dal lake, Pahalgam's meadows, Gulmarg's gondola rides, and Sonmarg's glacier views all in one trip. You'll also get a proper houseboat stay and a shikara ride, which, if you haven't done it, is basically like gliding through a postcard.

Departures run on 11, 17, 23, and 29 November, then continue into December on the 5th, 11th, 17th, 23rd, and 29th. That's plenty of flexibility to slot this into your Diwali leave calendar without a fight at work.

Leh Ladakh: For the Adventure Junkies

If Kashmir is romantic, Leh Ladakh is raw. This 8N/9D package at ₹41,999 takes you through Kargil, Leh, the legendary Khardung La pass, Nubra Valley, and Pangong Lake. Remember that scene from 3 Idiots by the lake? Yeah, that's Pangong. Unlike the other packages, this one offers flexible dates so you can build your own itinerary around it. Great if you're traveling with a group that has its own ideas about pacing.

Kerala: God's Own Country, Diwali Edition

Kerala at ₹36,999 for 7N/8D covers Cochin, Munnar's tea estates, Thekkady's spice plantations, Alleppey's backwaters, Kanyakumari, and Trivandrum. You also get a 3-hour houseboat ride, which is honestly worth the price of admission on its own. There's something deeply calming about drifting past coconut groves while the rest of India is bursting crackers somewhere far away.

Departures happen on 10, 17, and 24 November, then 1, 8, 15, 22, and 29 December. Plenty of options if your leave dates shift last minute.

Meghalaya: The Cleanest Corner of India

Meghalaya doesn't get talked about enough, and that's a shame. At ₹37,999 for 7N/8D, this trip takes you through Kaziranga's wildlife, Shillong's hills, Cherrapunji's waterfalls, and Dawki, home to a river so clear it looks like the boats are floating on air. Genuinely, photos don't do it justice until you've seen it yourself.

Arunachal Pradesh: The Land of the Rising Sun

At ₹36,999 for 6N/7D, this one's for travelers who want something offbeat. Kaziranga, Bomdila, Tawang, and Sela Pass make up the route, and Tawang alone is worth the trip. It's home to one of the largest Buddhist monasteries in India, sitting quietly among mountains that most Indians never get around to visiting.

Himachal Pradesh: The Classic Hill Escape

Himachal is the longest package on this list at 9N/10D, priced at ₹39,999. It covers Amritsar, Dalhousie, Dharamshala, Manali, and Shimla. Amritsar's inclusion is a nice touch, because the Golden Temple at night is genuinely one of those experiences that stays with you long after the trip ends. Add in Manali's snow and Shimla's colonial charm, and you've got a well-rounded itinerary.

Uttarakhand: Spiritual and Scenic

For those who want a Diwali trip with a bit more soul-searching mixed in, Uttarakhand at ₹34,999 for 8N/9D hits Mussoorie, Rishikesh, Corbett, and Nainital. Rishikesh during Diwali, with the Ganga aarti lighting up the ghats, is an entirely different kind of festival experience. It's quieter, but it hits differently.

Sikkim-Darjeeling: Tea, Mountains, and Toy Trains

Rounding off the list is Sikkim-Darjeeling at ₹39,999 for 7N/8D. Gangtok, Tsomgo Lake, Lachung, Yumthang Valley, and Darjeeling make up this route, and if you time it right, you might even catch a glimpse of Kanchenjunga on a clear morning. The toy train through Darjeeling's tea gardens is the kind of slow travel experience that forces you to actually relax instead of rushing from one photo spot to the next.

What's Included in Every Package

NFTT World keeps things consistent across all eight itineraries, which makes comparing them a lot easier than dealing with a dozen different operators.

·        Pure vegetarian and Jain food, cooked in a separate kitchen

·        Fixed group departure dates, so no waiting around for a minimum headcount

·        All-inclusive pricing covering stays, transport, and sightseeing as per the itinerary

·        Houseboat rides, monastery visits, and heritage walks built into the relevant packages

·        GST charged separately at 5%, so factor that into your final budget

Thinking Bigger for Next Diwali? Consider a Europe Tour From Goregaon Mumbai

If domestic trips feel a bit too familiar this year, NFTT World also runs a Europe Tour from Goregaon Mumbai worth keeping on your radar for future celebrations. Their 13N/14D Deluxe Europe package takes you through Paris, Disneyland, Geneva, Bern, Interlaken, Zurich, Lucerne, Innsbruck, Venice, Pisa, Florence, Rome, and Capri. Yes, that's a lot of countries packed into two weeks, and yes, it includes Indian meals throughout so your stomach doesn't have to adjust to unfamiliar cuisine every single day.

Prices for the Europe tour start from around ₹75,000 excluding flights and visa costs, with a mandatory Schengen visa and passport validity of at least six months required from your return date. It's not a Diwali package in the traditional sense, but plenty of Mumbai families now treat a big international trip as their once-a-year festive splurge instead of the usual firecrackers and sweets. Something to think about if you're already dreaming past 2026.

How to Pick the Right Package for You

Honestly, there's no wrong answer here, but a few quick pointers help narrow things down.

·        If you want snow and romance, go with Kashmir.

·        If adventure and high-altitude drama excite you, Leh Ladakh wins.

·        If backwaters and slow living sound appealing, Kerala is your pick.

·        If you want something off the beaten path that most of your friends haven't done, Meghalaya or Arunachal Pradesh will impress.

·        If a classic hill station combo with spiritual stops sounds right, Himachal or Uttarakhand fits the bill.

·        If mountains, tea, and toy trains call out to you, Sikkim-Darjeeling delivers.

Booking Before Seats Run Out

Fixed departures mean fixed seats, and Diwali is peak season across every single one of these destinations. Kashmir and Kerala especially tend to fill up fast because of their year-round popularity. If you've already got a date in mind, don't sit on it too long.

For bookings, pricing confirmation, or a custom itinerary discussion, you can reach NFTT World directly at +91 77386 56421. They'll walk you through availability, and since terms and conditions apply along with the 5% GST, it's worth getting the final numbers confirmed over a call before you commit.

This Diwali, skip the usual routine. Whether it's Kashmir's shikaras, Kerala's backwaters, or even planning ahead for a Europe tour from Goregaon Mumbai, there's a trip on this list that fits how you want to spend the festival of lights. Book early, travel light, and let the fireworks come to you this time.
