New Year's Eve Destinations

-
You were either swamped at work, ran out of leaves or just plain lazy - whatever your excuse, it has now left you wondering why you didn't plan ahead for New Year's eve. Luckily for you, we've got you covered. And since 2016 was one crazy trip, we raised the stakes and mixed it up a bit. This is what you can plan for the big event.

1. What's Hot New Year Shuffle: Mega Party


What's in it for you? 3 venues, 7 artists and 1 mega party! A stellar line-up of artists and complete access to only the hottest pubs in Delhi - Summerhouse Cafe, Bandstand and Auro Kitchen & Bar at Aurobindo Market in Hauz Khas. Need we say more? To buy the tickets,

2. Paragliding in Bir Billing




A quaint village area in Himachal Pradesh, Bir-Billing has been attracting adventure seekers for a long time now. A quick trek up to the launch site and a smooth sailing experience over the valley makes for an unbeatable experience.

3. Picturesque views in Kanatal, Uttarakhand


Bliss, quietude and views to leave you breathless - there's plenty here for anyone looking to keep their New Year celebration low-key. If it's any other time of the year or hasn't snowed here yet, you can even indulge in a few nature walks. Nothing better comes to mind when you're looking to centre yourself with the universe.

4. Wildlife Safari at Jim Corbett National Park


This one's for the nature lovers. Hunter and author Jim Corbett was known to have single-handedly brought down many man-eaters, and these tales later became popular books also authored by him. 
The park is made up of five zones — Jhirna, Bijrani, Dhikala, Durgadevi and Sitavani — and it's in these zones where one can chance upon the Royal Bengal tiger, leopards, hog deer, otters, cheetal, jungle cat, sloth bears, barking deer and other animals. This is the place to be if you want a truly immersive experience.

5. Take your party underwater in Lakshadweep


Who says celebrating above water is any better than doing so under it? The rich underwater universe, blue waters and clear sands only add to the draw when it comes to the Lakshadweep Islands.

In yet another tragic aviation accident, Flydubai, a government owned low cost UAE based airline, crashed enroute from Dubai to Rostov in Russia, killing all 62 on board. According to a whistleblower, the airline was known to ‘work their pilots to death’, and thus fatigue could have been a cause for the death. Other theories being considered are technical failure, adverse weather conditions and crew error, among others. On its part, the Russian investigation industry has opened a criminal investigation into any security breaches, and 50 investigators have been put on the case. Though, as per David Ropeik, a Risk Communications instructor at Harvard University, the odds of dying in a plane crash are one in 11 million, the aviation industry has been witness to numerous horrific accidents that have cost thousands of lives.
