2. Morjim Beach, Goa
Once only known as a wildlife conservation zone of the Olive Ridley Turtles, Morjim Beach that continues to be a nesting ground has transformed from a quiet and lesser known place to the beach with bustling nightlife. The many shacks and lounges here offer interesting nightlife and many beach parties. It could be one of the great hangouts in Goa for the New Year's eve. The northern end of the beach is blocked to tourists as it forms the nesting ground for the turtles. The other party beaches of Goa include; Baga, Calangute, Vagator and Anjuna.

Enjoy the pristine white sands, blue crystal clear waters and activities that range from snorkeling to boating. Take long walks, enjoy picnics, heavenly dips in the refreshing water and welcome the New Year with all worries and stress put to rest!

5. Om Beach, Gokarna
Gokarna is a stunning beach destination in the southern state of Karnataka. It is considered the answer to an unspoilt and less crowded Goa. The small town is actually popular for its Shiva Temple among the locals and popular as a less-explored beach destination among tourists. The beach itself is said to be in the shape of the Hindu symbol 'Om' when seen from above, thus earning its name. The green rolling hillocks are a great place to go trekking, and the beach is beautiful with its little boats and clear waters. It is a great destination to spend your festival holidays. Also, Goa is just a short drive away! No other place can provide you with the best of both worlds; party and nature.
