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 July 2026, so all 31 days were examined. 6 passed everything, 8 missed by a single rule, and 17 missed by two or more, in a month where one of this rite's 11 accepted nakshatras ran on 13 days. Nakshatra is the binding constraint here, ruling out 18 of the 31.
| Rule | What it asks for | Days it excluded | On its own |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tithi | anything but the 3 Rikta tithis and Amavasya | 7 | 2 |
| Vara | Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday | 8 | — |
| Nakshatra | 11 of the 27 | 18 | 5 |
| Yoga | none of the nine ashubha yogas | 9 | 1 |
| Karana | not Vishti (Bhadra) at sunrise | 6 | — |
Read the last column as a counterfactual. 5 days of July fail on nakshatra and nothing else — 1, 6, 12, 16, 26 — 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 13 days of July 2026, with Shravana and Dhanishta coming round twice.
Weekday supply. July 2026 holds 23 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 13 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.

July 2026 against the rest of 2026
July 2026 contributes 6 of the 45 days 2026 offers for a long travel / yatra — 1st of the twelve, and above the 5 that is the median across the seven occasions this month. Every month of the year offers at least one.
The other six occasions in July 2026
Same 31 days, seven different filters: in July they return between 0 and 6 qualifying days, median 5. 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 July 2026
How many days in July 2026 are good for long travel / yatra?
6 days of the 31 pass every filter: 5 July (Sunday), 15 July (Wednesday), 20 July (Monday), 24 July (Friday), 30 July (Thursday), 31 July (Friday). They are not evenly spread — the widest gap between two of them is 10 days. 8 further days miss on one rule alone and are listed with the rule they missed.
Is any part of July 2026 closed for auspicious beginnings?
No, and not only in July 2026: 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 July 2026 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 July 2026?
No closure touches July 2026, so the difference is the five limbs themselves: nakshatra alone rules out 18 of the 31 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.
