With the year coming to an end, everyone is getting ready to bid adieu to the last year and bring in the New Year with a bang. As always, this is the time to decide what your plans are – whether to stay in town or go to a new city to party. Goa, being the Vegas of India is the hottest party destination any time of the year and even more so during the New Year.
Here are some things you can look forward to if you want to go to Goa this year! The best time to be in Goa is during Christmas and New Year for an experience like never before. New Year Parties in Goa are everywhere. There is singing, dancing, eating, partying and so much more. The whole of Goa is lit up as New year approaches, all the churches, the beaches looking beautiful as ever. During the New Year, the day can be over, the sun can be set but the party never ends.
Since the major music festivals such as Sunburn in Goa take place just before the new year, it’s a great option to extend the Christmas holiday and bring in new years eve.
