Best Dates to Fly for Dussehra 2026

Fly out on Friday 16 or Saturday 17 October, and come back after 21 October.

Long weekend: Saturday 17 to Tuesday 20 October becomes a four-day break if you take Monday off. Expect Friday-evening and Saturday-morning flights to fill first.
Mysuru Dasara: Aim to be in Mysuru by 20 October for the palace illumination, and stay for the Jamboo Savari on 21 October.
Kullu Dussehra: It starts on Vijayadashami and runs for about a week, so you can fly in a day or two after the rush.
Return: 21–22 October is busy as long-weekend and Durga Puja travellers head back. Flying from 23 October onward is usually cheaper.

Why Dussehra Flights Get Expensive

Dussehra week stacks three kinds of demand onto the same days. People travel home for the holidays, tourists head to Mysuru, Kullu and Varanasi, and Bengalis fly to Kolkata for Durga Puja. Small airports like Mysuru and Bhuntar have very few flights, so fares there jump fastest.

How to Save on Dussehra Flights

Fly into a bigger airport: Bangalore for Mysuru, or Chandigarh for Kullu, then continue by road.
Avoid Friday evening: Thursday or Saturday-afternoon departures are often cheaper.
Go after the peak: Kullu Dussehra runs for about a week, so later days are cheaper to reach.
Book the return early: 21–22 October flights fill fast.
Set a fare alert: Track your route instead of checking manually.

Where to Celebrate Dussehra

Mysuru's Dasara is Karnataka's state festival, with an illuminated palace and the Jamboo Savari elephant procession. Kullu Dussehra brings hundreds of village deities to the Dhalpur maidan for a week-long fair. Varanasi's Ramnagar Ramlila and Delhi's Ramlila Maidan are among the best-known Ravan Dahan events. Bastar in Chhattisgarh holds one of India's longest Dussehra festivals.

What Is Dussehra?

Dussehra, or Vijayadashami, marks Lord Rama's victory over Ravana and Goddess Durga's victory over Mahishasura. It falls on the tenth day after Navratri. Across North India, towns burn giant effigies of Ravana after days of Ramlila performances.
