				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>India is a big country and even bigger in organizing events for various festivities. New Year celebrations being one of the major events, it is celebrated by every major city in its own unique way. This New Year becomes better you by welcoming it with new experiences.</p>
<h2>1. GOA</h2>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-600" src="http://blog.destinosindia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/11-563x353.jpg" alt="GOA" width="563" height="353" /></p>
<p>You want to have a big party of any kind in India, well look no further Goa is the best place you can go. It is a very cool place filled with party animals all over the year but on New Year’s Eve it is something unique. The frenzy and chaotic music filled with booze will make you a free-spirited animal. Not much to say except if you haven’t visited Goa for New Year, you missing something major in your life.</p>
<p><strong><a href="https://www.destinosindia.com/city/index/81/goa" target="_blank">Travel in Goa</a></strong></p>
<h2>2. MUMBAI</h2>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-601" src="http://blog.destinosindia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/21-563x353.jpg" alt="MUMBAI" width="563" height="353" /></p>
<p>Not so far away from Goa is another party hub, Mumbai. Known for Bollywood or Hindi movie production, the city of dreams know how to have a good time for welcoming New Year with bigger dreams. The best thing about being in Mumbai is you can see your favorite stars enjoying the same parties as you but from a little distance. There’s also a chance of visiting Marine Drive if you want a little outside air at midnight.</p>
<p><strong><a href="https://www.destinosindia.com/city/index/155/mumbai" target="_blank">Travel In Mumbai</a></strong></p>
<h2>3. DELHI</h2>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-602" src="http://blog.destinosindia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/31-563x353.jpg" alt="DELHI" width="563" height="353" /></p>
<p>It’s not like you need sea and sand to party. North Indians show how to party hard in clubs, arenas, and grounds, anywhere. If want to see your body moving to Punjabi beats and groove on the music with loud roars of the crowd, Delhi is the place for you. Even gathering at night at India Gate feels like a big party on New Year’s Eve. Other than all these organized DJ nights are sort of tradition there, be it any partying occasion.</p>
<p><strong><a href="https://www.destinosindia.com/city/index/64/delhi" target="_blank">Travel in Delhi</a></strong></p>
<h2>4. BANGALORE</h2>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-608" src="http://blog.destinosindia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/41-563x353.jpg" alt="BANGALORE" width="563" height="353" /></p>
<p>This IT Hub does work hard but party harder. The malls, open places, and other gathering places are immune to play loud music on New Year’s. The entire city converts itself into a party spot where everyone can dance and have the time of their life. Live DJ sets of this place are unmatched and for the lovers of techno music, this place on New Year is a must.</p>
<h2>5. KOLKATA</h2>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-609" src="http://blog.destinosindia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/51-563x353.jpg" alt="KOLKATA" width="563" height="353" /></p>
<p>One of the major and oldest cities of India, it does have something unique to give you on New Year’s Eve. Other than fun parties with happening crowds, you will get your dose of local food with a lot of different flavors. Kolkata is famous for giving new experiences every time you visit and you can have a royal yet memorable time.</p>
<p><strong><a href="https://www.destinosindia.com/city/index/123/kolkata" target="_blank">Travel in Kolkata</a></strong></p>
<h2>6. GULMARG</h2>
<p>Loud music is all fun and good but sometimes when you want a moment to have a life-changing conversation with yourself or a special person, you have to skip the party for a bit. For doing all this Gulmarg is the place for you. Other than loud music parties in warm halls, the silence outside is revealing too. The feeling of being in nature’s lap is something beyond exciting.</p>
<h2>7. PONDICHERRY</h2>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-610" src="http://blog.destinosindia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/71-563x353.jpg" alt="PONDICHERRY" width="563" height="353" /></p>
<p>You love beach parties and the sound of the ocean waves coming to the shore, well Pondicherry has all that and more. Generally, the atmosphere here is cool and breezy but it’s extra special on New Year’s as the city readily has some performances for the visitors. This certainly is one of the great places to have a good time.</p>
<p>This year celebrate New Year’s Eve at the place you have never being before.</p>
<p>We wish you a wonderful year ahead!</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: #000000;">It has always been a sort of fantasy and adventure for excursionists to ride in a hot air balloon. Flying high in a vibrant coloured giant hot air balloon has always topped our bucket list since childhood. It is a huge appeal of sighting wonderful scenery, places, and country from high above and in the open air. Floating in a basket and being carried across the skies, like an alien ship is what we all desire to experience at least once in our life.</span></p>

Despite the increasing popularity, there are very few places in India that offer an opportunity for ballooning.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Here is a list of destinations where you can have the best of the best experiences of Hot Air Balloon Rides in India</span></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: #000000;">Getaways are surely relaxing and delightful, however, if you aren&#8217;t packing correctly, then it will be a bummer. Allow me to paint a picture for you &#8211; You are at the beach and just settling in, and suddenly you remember the list of things which you&#8217;ve forgotten. Or you see other people and it strikes you that you have it at home but in the excitement, you forgot to pack. Now you will roam around the streets and look for your essentials, thus, your holiday won&#8217;t be a holiday anymore, it will be a shopping, which by the way, you could have done back home as well.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">To make sure that you make the most of your holiday, we are today presenting you with a list of all the things which you will require at the beach.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Before enlisting, I will brief you with an overall plan. Light and breezy clothes should be the maximum among your wardrobe choices. Of course, you want to be comfortable, but it is a big NO to faded and ragged T-shirts. You should be aiming for a summer look which is polished and not at all dumpy. Take your time and think about how will you get wet and sandy items back home. The last thing you want is a suitcase full of sand!</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">On that note, let&#8217;s get directly to the list and ensure that you pack everything you require for a fun beach holiday.</span></p>
<h2><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>1. Bikini/Swimsuit</strong></span></h2>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Of course, this is an absolute must. However, we recommend you to pack two pairs of your bikini or swimsuit. Thus, you can wear one of them, while the other is getting dry.</span></p>
<h2><span style="color: #000000;">2. <strong>Swim CoverUp or Sarong</strong></span></h2>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><img class=" size-full wp-image-515" src="http://blog.destinosindia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Swim-CoverUp-or-Sarong-563x353.jpg" alt="Swim-CoverUp-or-Sarong" width="563" height="353" /></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">This is another essential which is perfect for wearing down to the beach. Sarong, however, is more preferred since it covers up your shoulders as well as legs. The reason sarong is preferred in case you are visiting any temples or monasteries.</span></p>
<h2><span style="color: #000000;">3. <strong>Flip Flops</strong></span></h2>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Provided the fact that you will be spending most of your time at the beach or by the pool, a pair of flip flops become a must-have.</span></p>
<h2><span style="color: #000000;">4. <strong>Water Shoes</strong></span></h2>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><img class=" size-full wp-image-516" src="http://blog.destinosindia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Water-Shoes-563x353.jpg" alt="Water-Shoes" width="563" height="353" /></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">At beaches, there can be a lot of rocks and coral. To protect your feet, it is recommended to pack a pair of slip-on mesh shoes.</span></p>
<h2><span style="color: #000000;">5. <strong>Snorkel Set</strong></span></h2>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">If your destination has an amazing life underwater, you have to have a good quality snorkel kit. Of course, you can borrow or hire these kits, however, it is nice to have your own with the perfect fit.</span></p>
<h2><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>6. Sunscreen</strong></span></h2>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><img class="size-full wp-image-514" src="http://blog.destinosindia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Sunscreen-563x353.jpg" alt="Sunscreen" width="563" height="353" /></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">If your beach holiday is going to be all about spending time at the beach or by the pool, you need a good quality sunscreen to protect your face and body.</span></p>
<h2><span style="color: #000000;">7. <strong>Sandals</strong></span></h2>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">These are perfect for walking around the town or if you are heading out for shopping or going out to dinner. A pair of sandals can also be used for light hikes.</span></p>
<h2><span style="color: #000000;">8. <strong>Jacket</strong></span></h2>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><img class="size-full wp-image-512" src="http://blog.destinosindia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Jacket-563x353.jpg" alt="Jacket" width="563" height="353" /></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Since it gets a little cool and windy at night, you might also require a light jacket. A rain jacket can also be worth provided you are going to a location which often has downpours.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Well, this was our list of essentials which you will definitely require at the beach. You can also pack a floating device and sunglasses to capture the most amazing pictures of yours.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Take a <span style="color: #0000ff;"><a style="color: #0000ff;" href="https://www.destinosindia.com/" target="_blank">great trip</a></span> and wear off all the daily life tensions.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Have fun!</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"> </span></p>
