ARCHIT HOODA

1. Goa

This is the obvious destination on the list, the Vegas of India. New Year parties here are different than the regular parties with fire crackers lighting up the coastline. The young crowd is seen going wild, dancing to the tunes of jazzy songs at the sandy beaches all night long. Goa, indeed is, one of the best new year destinations in India. Every Indian bachelor’s dream holiday.

2. Bangalore

Another no-brainer, especially if you're familiar with B-town's bar culture. Combine that with the New Year party atmosphere and you've got the perfect place to enjoy a new year pub crawl while chugging some of the choicest brews. Or you could head a little outside the city and enjoy the calming Cauvery fishing camp. The city that works hard and parties harder.

3. Manali

The best place to enjoy New Year's regardless of if you're a fan of raving or whether you just want a chill time. The snow and the good vibes are sure to make you ring in the new year with a smile. Head into Old Manali, sip on some special hot chocolate and feel the warmth seep through to your brain. The green you find here is not only on the hills, my friend!

4. New Delhi

The capital of the country is of course also the capital of partying.It guarantees you a good time on New Year's Eve. A bunch of different themed parties and a New Year countdown at Connaught Place also add the special touch that only few places can boast of. Ye Dilli hai meri jaan.

5. Kasol

Here's another Himachali wonderland that combines the best of both worlds. Easy access to the multitudes of New Year parties plus the beauty of the rivers and mountains make Kasol a place where you won't even feel the biting cold of December thanks to the breathtaking surroundings. Explore a little to find the best spots to chill and party. Kasol ka to scene hi trippy hai.

6. Rajasthan

The pink city is the place where you can enjoy a new year with a Royal twist. Book a room at the magnificent Rambagh hotel, a sprawling palace that was home to the chambers of a maharaja in the early years. Or you can opt for the desert safari and welcome the new year with an adrenaline rush. Live life king size.

7. Shillong

Party at the rock capital of India with a bunch of different events to choose from. You can also drive out of the city a little way out, put up some tents in one of the sprawling meadows or visit the area around the Sacred Forest and have your own intimate festivities there. Rock On!

8. Pondicherry

With its easy access beaches, Pondy is a place you can enjoy whether you're with friends or family or both. The delicious food aside, the presence of two distinctly varied cultures of French and Tamil lends the place a special charm on New Year's Eve that leaks into the celebrations in a swirl of oneness. Daaru ka to pata hi hai!

No matter where you go, it's always a Happy New Year if you celebrate it with the people you want and in the place you feel you need to be. It's not always about making it large, it's about keeping it real.
