Long travel / yatra Muhurat, April 2027
6 days in April 2027 survive the long travel / yatra filter, and the longest unbroken stretch with nothing available runs 14 days. No closure touches the month, so all 30 were decided on their own panchang.

The barred direction on each day
Yatra carries a rule the filter cannot apply for you, because it depends on where you are going: the dishashool, one direction shut on each weekday.

Which rule did the excluding
No closure touches April 2027, so all 30 days were examined. 6 passed everything, 14 missed by a single rule, and 10 missed by two or more, in a month where one of this rite's 11 accepted nakshatras ran on 14 days. Nakshatra is the binding constraint here, ruling out 16 of the 30.
| Rule | What it asks for | Days it excluded | On its own |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tithi | anything but the 3 Rikta tithis and Amavasya | 6 | 2 |
| Vara | Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday | 8 | 1 |
| Nakshatra | 11 of the 27 | 16 | 7 |
| Yoga | none of the nine ashubha yogas | 7 | 4 |
| Karana | not Vishti (Bhadra) at sunrise | 3 | — |
Read the last column as a counterfactual. 7 days of April fail on nakshatra and nothing else — 1, 9, 11, 18, 22, 26, 28 — so a family willing to set aside that one rule has those days available. No other single relaxation buys as much.
Nakshatra supply. 11 of the 27 are accepted for this rite, and they fell on 14 days of April 2027, with Shravana and Dhanishta and Anuradha coming round twice.
Weekday supply. April 2027 holds 22 days of the right weekday (Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday), none of them inside a closure, and 6 survive the rest of the filter — against 14 days supplied by the 11 nakshatras. Unlike the sky's four limbs, this is the one the calendar fixes.
Yatra has a weekday rule of its own — the dishashool, a direction barred on each day — which depends on where you are going and is not applied here. Tuesday and Saturday are excluded as the generally avoided days.

April 2027 against the rest of 2027
6 days here, 51 days across 2027 — 3rd of the twelve for a long travel / yatra, and above the 1 that is the median across the seven occasions this month. The seven occasions between them range from 1 to 6 in April alone.
The other six occasions in April 2027
Same 30 days, seven different filters: in April they return between 1 and 6 qualifying days, median 1. This rite’s 6 is on the generous side of that, and the reason is the 11-nakshatra set and the absence of any closure it carries.
Questions about April 2027
How many days in April 2027 are good for long travel / yatra?
6 days of the 30 pass every filter: 2 April (Friday), 4 April (Sunday), 7 April (Wednesday), 12 April (Monday), 14 April (Wednesday), 29 April (Thursday). They are not evenly spread — the widest gap between two of them is 15 days. 14 further days miss on one rule alone and are listed with the rule they missed.
Is any part of April 2027 closed for auspicious beginnings?
No, and not only in April 2027: no closed period is applied to long travel / yatra anywhere in the year. Kharmas, Adhika maas and Chaturmas gate the samskaras and the undertakings meant to last, which is where this site applies them; a journey is judged on the panchang of the day it begins. Every day of April 2027 was decided on the five limbs and on the weekday rule, which bars Tuesday and Saturday.
Why do other sites list more long travel / yatra dates in April 2027?
No closure touches April 2027, so the difference is the five limbs themselves: nakshatra alone rules out 16 of the 30 days, and 5 of the five bite at all this month. A list that returns four or five dates for any month you name is not reading a panchang.
Does a qualifying day work for travel in any direction?
No, and that is the one rule this page cannot apply for you. The dishashool bars one direction on each weekday — Sunday West, Monday East, Wednesday North, Thursday South, Friday West — and it depends entirely on where you are going. The table above gives the barred direction for each day so you can rule it in or out yourself.
