Here's how you can welcome 2019 with the best of beauty and nature

Lakeside

Lakeside revelry
If a lakeside view, tucked away in the middle of the Western Ghats, sounds appealing, opt for a lakeside camping trip at scenic Pawna. The cost includes transportation, unlimited alcohol (6 pm to 3 am) and a buffet spread, besides a night stay in tents on the lakeside. You can either drive down to the site or get picked up by their bus service from Dadar, Mumbai, and Shivaji Nagar, Pune. A DJ will set the vibe for NYE and you can grab your drinks from the licensed bar at the venue that will also have a bonfire. The organisers advise campers to carry a torch.
