The month-long campaign offers savings through leading bank partners such as Axis Bank, HDFC Bank, and HSBC Bank, which will provide exclusive weekly discounts during the campaign. Visa and Rupay are the network partners. The first week features an instant discount of up to 15% on HDFC Bank credit cards available until November 2, 2025.* MakeMyTrip has introduced ‘Travel Ka Muhurat,’ a new calendar moment intended to signify the beginning of India’s year-end travel planning season.
This initiative encompasses the entire travel experience, including flights, accommodations, holiday packages, ground transport, tours, attractions, and essential services like visa, forex, and travel insurance, uniting leading airlines, hospitality brands, and major banking partners to deliver exceptional value to travelers. Each week of the campaign will focus on selected domestic and international leisure destinations, combining beach, hill, cultural, and city getaways to inspire travelers for their year-end vacations. The inaugural edition of Travel Ka Muhurat runs from October 29 to November 30, 2025, with MMTBLACK members receiving exclusive early access, along with Black Friday Deals every Friday and Lightning Drops, which are limited-time offers available daily between 6:00 PM and 9:00 PM.
“Travel Ka Muhurat is a unique initiative in the travel sector that will greatly benefit both travelers and our partners,” stated Rajesh Magow, Co-Founder & Group CEO of MakeMyTrip. “As India’s foremost travel platform, we are strategically positioned to unite the ecosystem at a scale that provides remarkable value to travelers. With our partners’ support, we aim to make the planning experience as thrilling and inspiring as the travel itself.” The timing of Travel Ka Muhurat is informed by insights regarding when Indians actively plan their trips. According to booking trends on MakeMyTrip, many travelers finalize their plans earlier, expecting that quality options will become scarce and prices will rise in December, with nearly 30% completing their bookings by November.
For international travel, the planning window opens even earlier, with noticeable increases in October. This evolving mindset regarding pricing and availability has paved the way for a dedicated travel planning season, which Travel Ka Muhurat aims to establish as India’s annual moment for travel planning. Tailored for this crucial phase, it assists travelers in converting intent into action through curated offers across flights, accommodations, and destinations.
