Top April Destinations for Indians To Make the Most of Ramzan and Easter Holidays

Ramzan is officially in full swing for our Muslim friends! It officially began on the evening of Wednesday, March 22, 2023, and will end on the evening of Friday, April 21, which is Ramzan’s Eid in 2023. 

For those who don’t know, Ramzan is the Indian name for Ramadan, the holiest month in Islam, wherein Muslims fast from dawn to sunset. They also hold communal prayers every night until Eid-Ul-Fitr, the last day of Ramzan.

For our non-Muslim friends, you can enjoy the long holiday with travel. The period will also overlap with the Easter holidays, making it an excellent time for trips.

To make the most of your Ramzan and Easter holidays, you can visit these excellent destinations:

First on our list of Ramzan holiday destinations is Thailand, a country known for its culture, cuisine, temples, and stunning beaches. It’s also known to be culturally similar to India, thanks to its common traditions and religious beliefs, so expect less culture shock when you arrive. 

You can visit Thailand’s pristine beaches and taste their delicious food—after all, Thai cuisine is one of India’s few rivals when it comes to spice. Plus, it’s only 4-5 hours away on a plane!

When in Thailand, you can check out these destinations:

Embark on this day trip from Phuket to an assortment of immaculate islands: Phi Phi, Khai, and Bamboo Islands, Maya Bay, and more. Relish the views of the sand and sea, and go snorkeling to see the abundant aquatic life. You can also choose between touring on a speedboat or a more spacious catamaran when you book the tour. 

The multi-ethnic Southeast Asian country known as the Lion City is a fantastic tourist destination for Indians on holiday, only 4-5 hours away. It’s home to plenty of modern marvels and attractions, such as the iconic Merlion statue, Marina Bay Sands, and even Changi Airport, known as the best airport in the world! You can also get a slice of home at Singapore’s Little India!

Here’s an attraction you can’t miss in Singapore:

When in the Lion City, it's your chance to visit Southeast Asia’s first and only Universal Studios in Singapore. Here you’ll find your favorite movies come to life, from Shrek, the Minions, Transformers, Jurassic Park, and more! Don’t miss out on must-try rides like Jurassic Park Rapids Adventure, which will take you through whitewater rapids riddled with animatronic dinosaurs, and Revenge of the Mummy, an indoor rollercoaster intensified by audio-visuals for a thrilling experience.

Another Southeast Asian nation on the list with beautiful natural landscapes, delicious food, and world-class resorts is Vietnam. There are also plenty of direct flights from Mumbai and New Delhi to Da Nang in Vietnam, which typically take around 4.5 hours. 

While in Vietnam, it’s time to try hearty pho from its birthplace! And you can see for yourself why numerous tourists flock to this destination:

Ba Na Hills, situated on the peak of Chua Mountain, is visited by 1.5 million tourists a year. It’s a location that can only be visited via cable car, so the journey there is part of the fun! Once there, you can enjoy the beauty of the mountain region, with its waterfalls and verdant forests. It also boasts a 27 m-high Buddha statue and the 150-meter-long pedestrian bridge called The Golden Bridge.

Now we take a turn to the Middle East, specifically to the Emirati megacity of Dubai. This desert city in the UAE is filled with modern marvels, world-class attractions, endless glitz and glam, and gorgeous beaches. It only takes 2-3 hours to fly from Mumbai or New Delhi, also making it great for your Ramzan holiday. 

Here’s an essential attraction to visit during your Dubai trip:

See all of Dubai from the 124th, 125th, and 148th floors of the tallest building in the world: the Burj Khalifa! On the Burj Khalifa At the Top Observation Deck, it provides an incredible vantage point—and telescopes—for you to see popular Dubai attractions. These include the Dubai Marina, Palm Jumeirah, and more.

While farther away than the destinations above, Switzerland is definitely a must-visit. During the holiday period, an 8-hour flight to the European country is worth it! Time to see the postcard-worthy snowy Swiss alps and chalets in person and try world-famous Swiss cheese and chocolates straight from the source. 

To make the most of your Switzerland trip, you can go on this tour:

Going on the Jungfraujoch Top of Europe Tour will make you feel like you’re literally on top of the world, specifically the iconic Jungfrau mountain. You’ll hop on a cogwheel train up the Jungfraujoch, where Europe’s highest railway station lies at 3,454 m high, called the Top of Europe. You can hop on the new gondola Eiger Express to admire the mountainous landscapes before heading to the picturesque Eiger Glacier.
