Ring In The New Years At These 5 Mountain Destinations In India

The New Year is a harbinger of many things new and exciting. And planning a vacation around this time makes things a little more exciting. People travel across many parts of India to ring in the New Year, hill stations being one of the most popular options. Party in the hills, read your favourite books, or simply watch the clouds descend the mountains from the comfort of your cosy bedroom. Today, we bring you best mountain destinations in India that will take you away from the crowded cities and into the lap of serenity.

1. Pahalgam, Jammu & Kashmir

Pahalgam is a bucolic and tranquil town that is surrounded by the Himalayas from all sides. Usually very cold during the months of winters, Pahalgam is a rather unusual choice to bring in the New Year. But wait a minute, would you not like to wake up to the views of soaring mountains and pine trees covered in snow and a light blue river flowing through it? We are sure a cup of hot chocolate would make that view even more interesting.

Surrounded by exuberant views of carpets of tea plantations, Munnar is 19th century town snuggled in the Western Ghats mountain range. As you drive around the town, you would be greeted by unexpected fog, mist and glances of contoured hills.
