Ooty

Ooty may remind you of honeymoon couples walking through tea plantations but if you are looking for a great time, then the hill station is the right place.

You can find decent hotel rooms for as cheap as Rs 900 to Rs 1,000 per night. Food is also quite affordable in the region.

Puducherry

While reaching Pondicherry by air may be a little expensive, once in the Union Territory, you may not have to shell out a lot. Covered by beaches and gardens, the place is a unique party destination. For those planning to save, you can fly to Chennai Airport and then take a private car or state bus to Pondy. Flights to Chennai are relatively cheap than the ones to Puducherry. The Riviera of the East is known for its French colonial-style buildings which promises you a cheap and different New Years.

Situated at a height of 5410 ft, Gangtok is a perfect place to relax and ring in the New Year in peace. This Sikkim town will let you gaze at hill ranges, clouds, greenery and all things nature. While you can choose to party in the hills, we suggest you celebrate the tranquillity and soak in the calmness this New Years.
