Eid trips do not need flights. Ramadan 2026 in India is expected to start around February 18–19, with Eid-ul-Fitr likely around March 19–21, depending on moon sighting. Keep it simple, book early, and aim for places that feel festive in two days, not rushed in six hours, especially as festive travel trends continue to feature in Top Stories across India.
Five Easy Getaways That Still Feel Like A Break
1) Ananthagiri Hills, Vikarabad
Foggy mornings, short treks, and forest roads. It is about 90 km from Hyderabad. The Siasat Daily even calls it a near-Hyderabad getaway when you want nature fast.
2) Ramoji Film City Stay + Day Tour
If you want family-friendly fun, stay inside the film city and do the guided day tour next morning. March 2026 tour packages are already listed, and Telangana Tourism also runs transport-plus-entry options from Hyderabad.
3) Warangal + Ramappa Temple Loop
Do a heritage day with Warangal Fort vibes, then drive to Ramappa, a showpiece of Kakatiya architecture. Telangana Tourism has a clean official page to plan timing.
4) Nagarjuna Sagar Waterfront Break
Pick a lakeside stay, do a slow evening walk, then head back after brunch. Telangana’s tourism push has talked about more waterfront and wellness development around Nagarjuna Sagar, so options keep growing.
5) Bidar Fort Day-Trip With A Food Stop
Bidar is a straight drive for forts, tombs, and calm lanes. Start early, explore Bidar Fort, and return for a late Eid dinner in Hyderabad.
Quick Eid Planning Notes
Travel after prayers, keep one “rest block” in your schedule, and choose one big activity per day. Pack a light shawl, power bank, and cash for small stalls.
