Note! These are the 'Safe' Dates for the Lebaran Return Journey According to the Ministry of Transportation

Travellers are urged to undertake their Lebaran return journeys on 25 to 27 March 2026. This is to prevent traffic density. “The peak flow in line with the return flow prediction is on 24, 28, and 29 March 2026. The government has provided Work From Anywhere (WFA) on 25, 26, 27 March 2026, so for all people who will carry out the return journey, they are advised to return on those dates,” said the Director General of Land Transportation at the Ministry of Transportation, Aan Suhanan, quoted on Saturday, 21 March 2026. Therefore, he continued, the public does not have to return during the peak flow on 24, 28, and 29 March; this is solely to reduce the volume of vehicles on the roads. “For the return flow, the National Traffic Corps Chief has also prepared formats or scenarios that will be implemented,” he said. He added that the series of 2026 mudik activities have generally run smoothly. “For that, we from the government and the Ministry of Transportation express thanks and appreciation first to all Indonesian people who have contributed, have together carried out this mudik flow well,” he said. The peak return flow for the 2026 Lebaran period or Eid al-Fitr 1447 Hijriah is predicted to occur on 24 March 2026. “Our prediction for the return flow later is on 24 March,” said the President Director of PT Jasa Marga (Persero) Tbk, Rivan A. Purwantono, at the Jasa Marga Management Training Centre building, Jalan Akses Tol Jatiasih, Bekasi, West Java, on Friday. In addition, he continued, a second wave of peak mudik flow is predicted on 28-29 March. To anticipate the increase in vehicle volume, he also urged the public to return home on 26 and 27 March by utilising a 30 percent toll tariff discount.
