This weekend in India resort and pilgrimage places are seeing a surge in last minute sun holiday travelers thanks to a rare succession of three holidays. Those who haven't secured accommodations yet in some of the most popular spots may be out of luck as those places which are within a few hours drive of the city of Vadodara are already booked up.

Destinations in Rajasthan, Diu, Silvassa and Madhya Pradesh are also seeing heavy traffic as local families tend to travel in groups on holiday. A long weekend getaway is welcomed by many travelers at this time of year, especially since the weather is perfect for travel. It is warm and mild, and this is encouraging even more vacationers to hit the roads for a pleasant drive out of town. Travel agents have been busy keeping up with the demand for weekend booking in places like Mount Abu, Ranakpur and Udaipur.
