Looks like its a readonly field.I have tried JavaScript Executor to set the value. Please try the below code see if this help.

JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor)driver;
js.executeScript("document.getElementById('hp-widget__depart').value='2 Mar,Fri';");

OR

WebElement elementdept=driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[@mt-id='departDate']"));
elementdept.click();        
driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("a.ui-state-active")).click();

Try the options 2. – KunduK Feb 28 '19 at 17:03
Yes , Now it is working thanks . I write below code : `driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[@id ='hp-widget__depart']")).click();` `driver.findElement(By.cssSelector(".ui-state-default.ui-state-highlight.ui-state-active.ui-state-hover")).click();` – Palak Soni Feb 28 '19 at 19:10
@PalakSoni , when you are using `cssSelector` not necessary to use all.you can just use one of the class value.Happy to help you. – KunduK Feb 28 '19 at 19:46
