Autumn Travel Surge
Fall travel gains popularity as tourists seek cooler weather and better value.
Anonymous
Fall travel is gaining popularity as travelers seek cooler weather, fewer crowds, seasonal scenery and better value than the peak summer season. Destinations highlighted include North Lake Tahoe, Greece and flexible fall cruises, along with Hudson, New York, where mid-October foliage complements the town’s antiques, architecture, shops and design-focused vacation rentals. Ireland offers distinctive autumn stays ranging from Glenlo Abbey in Galway, with golf, dining, spa services and lakeside activities, to accommodations at Mount Congreve in Waterford, near the colorful Waterford Greenway. In India, October 2026 presents several potential long weekends around Gandhi Jayanti, Dussehra and Valmiki Jayanti, though travelers should confirm applicable state and workplace holidays before booking.
Key Points
1
In India, the October 2–4, 2026 Gandhi Jayanti break is the most broadly applicable three-day weekend, while Dussehra falls on Tuesday, October 20 and Durga Puja holidays in states including West Bengal, Tripura and Odisha run roughly from October 18 to 21.
2
Hudson’s main thoroughfare, Warren Street, combines shops, restaurants and boutiques; one recommended two-bedroom rental offers walkable access, a chef’s kitchen, high-design interiors, a vinyl listening area and a backyard.
3
At Glenlo Abbey, guests can dine at The Pullman, an attraction housed in two restored original Orient Express carriages, and use a private cinema located inside the abbey.

Mount Congreve accommodation includes adult bicycles for exploring the 46-kilometre Waterford Greenway, with The Stables Café offering a place to warm up afterward with a drink or seasonal treat.
5
The broader appeal of fall travel includes slower-paced exploration, easier access to popular attractions and stronger opportunities to connect with local culture, alongside cooler weather and lower crowds.
