New Delhi: As 2022 is about to end, it is time for the festive season and to welcome 2023 with joy. While one can sit on a couch watching a movie, that might sound boring if you like to travel. Traveling while welcoming the new year is a great feeling and can be fun with people you love. With Christmas and New Year, ’tis the vacation season.

Here are 10 places to visit near Delhi during your New Year vacation:

If you thought of Nainital but do not want to visit it again, you must try visiting the Jim Corbett National Park. The deers, leopards, jackals, and bears in their natural habitat are worth a watch. Also, who would not like a safari and New Year DJ party in the middle of a jungle?
