With the coming of Good Friday 2019, we are being presented with a long weekend, and this is a terrific scope for travel. With Easter Sunday 2019, and a Saturday in between, you have three days (Friday, Saturday and Sunday) off during this month ,i.e., 18, 19 and 20 April, 2019. A weekend getaway really involves a short trip to a nearby location, but to be honest, with airline services, you can very well stretch the distance and try going someplace far. Whether it is weekend getaways from Delhi or Mumbai, there is something for everyone living across the country. Here we have prepared a list of some of the best weekend getaways for the Good Friday 2019 weekend.
Auli
For those in North India thinking of weekend getaways from Delhi and Punjab, Auli in Uttarakhand is a paradise. The Himalayan ski town is perhaps your best bet to beat the rising heat, and have a great time during the Good Friday 2019 weekend. There are some enticing resorts here in the place, and with the company of your friends and family, you can expect a great holiday. There are some nice trek routes from here, and of course the Chenab Lake gives it character; add oak forests and Himalayan peaks, and you have a winner.

Located in Tamil Nadu, you can easily reach Coonoor if you are in Kerala or even in Karnataka.
