Mega Block
Ganesh–Anant Mega Block
Sep 12 – Sep 27, 2026
8 leaves → 16 days off
16 days off for 8 strategic leaves around Ganesh Chaturthi and Anant Chaturdashi.
The Math
How this works
Take 8 leaves (Sep 15, 2026 (Tuesday), Sep 16, 2026 (Wednesday), Sep 17, 2026 (Thursday), Sep 18, 2026 (Friday), Sep 21, 2026 (Monday), Sep 22, 2026 (Tuesday), Sep 23, 2026 (Wednesday), Sep 24, 2026 (Thursday)) → 16 days off.
Every leave gets you about 2.0 days.
Assumes only the working days you apply for count as leave. If your employer debits sandwiched weekends too, the planner on the homepage recalculates for that policy.
Same dates, different size — this window overlaps with Ganesh Chaturthi Weekend (0 leaves → 3 days), Ganesh Mega Block (4 leaves → 9 days) and Anant Chaturdashi Weekend (0 leaves → 3 days). Pick one — they spend the same calendar days.
Context
Why this weekend
The full Ganeshotsav window. Monsoon retreating; weather opens up across India. Sri Lanka, Bali, southeast Asia entering dry season. A 16-day window unlocks genuine long-haul: New York in early fall, the Masai Mara in migration season, or a slow two-week Southeast Asia loop. Book ~16 weeks ahead.
