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.
