Thinking of travel in 2021? Keep in mind these long weekends in 2021, and plan your vacations.

Sneak away some offs and plan your vacations during these long weekends in 2021!

Life in 2020 mostly included working from home in Pyjamas, sleeping all day, and thinking when the quarantine life would be over. We often looked at our old travel photos and sometimes uploaded them on our gram too. However, with little hope of vaccine to arrive in early 2021, life might get back to the tracks of normalcy. A life where you will no longer have to stare at the photos of your old trips, you can venture out to explore what was left before the pandemic. Here, we have come up with the list of those long weekends in 2021 when you resume travelling around the country again.

What else one needs to revive the mind!
