Why this advice?
  • Diwali, 8 November 2026. Lakshmi Puja falls on 8 November 2026; the five-day festival runs 6–10 November.
  • No route-specific week-by-week guidance is logged for this event yet. The book-by date above is simply the start of the typical late rise — not a claimed optimum.
  • The shaded zone on the timeline marks the final 3–4 weeks before a peak period, when fares on routes like this often move — a general planning pattern, not a forecast for this specific route. JetStash's own fare archive doesn't yet have enough dated observations on this route to predict when its price will change.
  • The fare shown was checked by a person on 1 September 2026 — a dated observation, never a live price.

Planning guidance, not a fare prediction — based on documented peak-period timing and verified dates, not a forecast of this route's prices. Fares can move differently in any given year.

When to book this route

Diwali and the December to January window are the two demand spikes that matter most. Outside those, February to April and September to October tend to be better value.

Peak demand periods
Diwali
Christmas–New Year
UK summer holidays

Demand — and often price — tends to build in the final 3–4 weeks before these periods. Consider booking earlier if your dates are fixed. Planning guidance, not a fare prediction.

Traveller tips for this route

Documents

OCI cardholders skip the e-Visa; others should apply early

OCI (Overseas Citizen of India) cardholders do not require a separate visa. Other UK passport holders need the standard e-Tourist or e-Business visa: apply at least 4 days ahead, earlier still during Diwali or December.

Baggage

Domestic Indian flight baggage allowances are often stricter

If your onward journey involves a domestic Indian flight, check the domestic baggage allowance separately from your international one. The two are frequently different, and it catches travellers out.
