New Year: Peaceful getaways in India that make for great year-ender vacations

By giving you a list of the peaceful getaways in New Year 2, all that we aim to do is make you realise that instead of partying the night away, one other way you can welcome the new year is by travelling to a more peaceful destination within the country. This will not only ensure a calm and positive start to the fresh year, but it will also give you a much needed break from the babel and chaos of daily life that you constantly want to escape. Keeping the same in mind, here are a few quiet places in India that will ensure that you make a peaceful start to 2019.

1. Kanha National Park What can be a more peaceful beginning to the new year than spending it within depths of one of the most beautiful forests in the country. Located in Madhya Pradesh, the Kanha National Park is not only famous for its natural beauty but is also known for being to a good number of tigers. One of the best ways to enjoy the destination is to stay in the cottage accommodation inside the forest premises by MP Tourism.

2. Rishikesh
When the rest of the world is partying the night away to welcome the New Year, you can sit at the banks of River Ganga with your loved ones and embrace the New Year filled with peace and love. After all, this place will be comparatively quieter and free from crowd on New Year’s Eve. Couple your stay with yoga, Ayurvedic and other rejuvenating activities to make it an even more peaceful new year trip.
3. Coonoor
Embracing the New Year while sitting amidst the unparalleled beauty of the Nilgiri Hills in Coonoor can be an experience you would like to keep in your memory for a long time. Available in abundance are stunning views of lush green mountains, plenty of hiking options, breathtaking tea gardens, and pastoral life that a lot of us dream of.

4. Pelling

When you can welcome the New Year while sipping your favourite cup of coffee amidst the striking beauty of the Himalayas, what else do you need? You can make this dream come true when you visit Pelling, a lesser-known destination in Sikkim and not too far from Gangtok. The place is quieter, has lesser tourists, and has stunning views of the mountains at all times.

5. Matheran
The verdant charms of Matheran bring out the best of the natural beauty that the Western Ghats of Maharashtra can offer, and what better way than staying in this place while the sun rises for the first time in the new year. Matheran is the perfect place to welcome the New Year, especially for those staying in Mumbai and Pune.
