8. Mcleodganj
Those who love the winter for its essence should head here. The chill winters brushing past you and the amazing scenery around will keep you hooked to this place days ahead than the new year as well. This is also the home of 14th Dalai Lama. The place, therefore, definitely has the Tibetan influence. An entirely new culture and setting draw people here from both India and abroad. You can spot the locals on the streets having the time of their life with drinks in their hands. There are also little fashionable cafes where a fancy guitar performance from visitors, and natives alike, is not that uncommon.# Trekking is the must-do activity here. Do ensure you become a part of the New Year celebration at Shiva Cafe, New Year party at Coffee Talks, and New Year eve at Peace Cafe.
