"Going away for the weekend somewhere where nothing can bother us can do wonders."

They say we travel not to escape life, but for life not to escape us.

The happier our weekend, the merrier is our week ahead. We work all week long, slogging, putting in our efforts, eyeing the weekend as it comes closer and closer. Then lo and behold! The weekend is here. So, how do you spend your weekend? The much-deserved break at the end of an arduous week. Well, to make it even more exciting, we recommend you set off to offbeat getaways to get your missing mojo back. A weekend might feel like a short time, but if you use it well, those two days are more than enough to relax and recuperate.

All you have to do is get your air ticket, charge your camera, pack your bags and make these promising destinations near you, your weekend explorations.
