Celebrate the New Year with great gusto and enthusiasm in the maximum city. Roadside food to five star hotels, the party continues in the city that never sleeps. There is something for everyone, from the poor to the rich or if you are on a budget. Marine Drive (Queen’s Necklace) and chowpatty beach offer a spectacular view of the midnight fire works.

2. Goa

Lit up brighter than a Christmas tree; Goa comes alive in the month of December. Amazing nightclubs, crazy and wild beach parties, and DJ’s blasting music. Goa is the place to be for the final countdown. With absolutely cheap alcohol and scrumptious food at the shacks you can paint the town red or blue or whatever takes your fancy.

3. Lakshadweep

Lakshadweep is perfect for those who prefer a more tranquil atmosphere. Emerald blue waters that sparkle in the shining sun, and relatively unexplored beaches. Have a roaring campfire by the beach, pop open a bottle of the bubbly and you are set to usher in the New Year with serenity.

4. Rajasthan

5. Kerala

Kerala-Beach-Resorts

Float along the magical backwaters of Kerala, on a houseboat. The gentle sound of the water against the side of your boat soothes and relaxes your frayed nerves. A lull washes over you. Kick back your legs and soak in the nature as the clock hands inch towards 12 o clock, its on your marks, get set and ready to go.

So what are you waiting for? Jet set and ring in the New Year in élan and style.
