23–25 November 2026
Dev Deepawali, Extended
2 nights / 3 days
The two-day version puts your arrival and the biggest night of the year on the same date, which works until a flight is late. This buys a day of margin, and uses it well — the old city on the 23rd is already decorated and far easier to walk.

per person, twin sharing
