7 ways to bring in 2016 in style

“We travel not to escape life, but for life not to escape us.” ~ Anonymous

Travel is a dream for many, an adventure for most, and an experience for everyone. It’s like adding a chapter to the book of life, that’s unique to a place, language, culture, food, and heritage. And as we begin a New Year, are you thinking of an offbeat place to bring in 2016? Or is it the usual drinking, dancing, and making merry as you ring in the New Year?

If you are thinking of doing something different – let your imagination run wild and take you to places that offer you an experience of a lifetime. Imagine rolling on the sand dunes, cruising on the backwaters, watching fireworks with a backdrop of a magnificent palace, or enjoying a bonfire by the mighty oceans.

Here are a few options you must consider:

MANVAR DESERT CAMP & RESORT – Jodhpur, Rajasthan 

Think camping on the sand dunes, pleasant winter days and cold winter nights with bonfires under the star lit skies. Camping at these luxurious safari-style tents is undoubtedly a great way to bring in the new year. At Manvar, take in the view of sunset at the dunes, experience a plush holiday in the middle of the desert, and enjoy the opulence of Rajasthani hospitality. The resort offers a host of activities to keep you engaged, making it an experience to remember.

SAMSARA DECHU – Jodhpur, Rajasthan 

Samsara epitomises out and out luxury. Dine under the starlit sky in the midst of the Thar Desert or lounge by their mesmerising poolside with a book – bring in 2016 the way you see fit. Far away from urban noise Samsara Dechu promises to woo you in style.
