While planning your getaway, you might even consider a road trip, and honestly, the vibe of hitting the road during Diwali is simply unmatched. It comes with a bit of nostalgia, friendly fights over songs and seats — all part of the fun. Because in the end, what everyone wants is a joyful, stress-free trip. So, in this article, we’ve listed a few tips you shouldn’t miss for a stress-free Diwali trip.
5 Tips For A Stress-Free Diwali Road Trip
Here are a few tips that you can follow to have the time of your life.
1. Plan before festive rush
This Diwali, if you’re planning a road trip with friends or family, make sure to plan everything in advance to avoid last-minute chaos. Whether you’re taking a car or a bus, choose your preferred mode of transport and decide your itinerary so you know where to stop and what your next destination is.
2. Celebrate on the go
Who says you can’t keep up with the festive spirit while on vacation? To enjoy the best Diwali celebration, carry some sweets to share with co-travellers, play festive music, or light a small LED diya.
3. Don’t let traffic ruin your mood
Amid the festivities, getting stuck in traffic for a long time is quite common — but don’t let it spoil your mood. Make a fun playlist of festive songs, sing along with your family, or share stories while waiting. Those few moments in traffic can turn into some of the best memories of your road trip.
4. Get done with sending gifts
Don’t carry everything with you wherever you go. Keep your luggage light by sending your gifts in advance. This way, your gifts will reach safely, and you’ll save time to enjoy special moments with your family and friends as soon as you arrive.
5. Carry your own eco-friendly crackers and diyas
Chances are, you might not find crackers or diyas at your destination. So, pack noise-free, green crackers and diyas along with a matchbox. This way, you can celebrate responsibly and still enjoy the festive spirit wherever you go.
