Hosting a Diwali party? THESE are the offbeat locations in India to host one

When we talk about Diwali parties, we automatically assume that it must be hosted at our home. But, why so? Diwali, just like any other festival, is all about reuniting with your old and new friends and having a good time together. Diwali is also about an extended vacation where you can jet away to any destination that you’d like to visit. How would you feel if we told you, you could do both of these together? Here’s a list of some offbeat destinations in India where you should host your Diwali party this year!

Gokarna

A hidden beach destination in Karnataka, Gokarna is home to some lovely, pristine beaches. Yet untouched by the tourist crowd, you can host a Diwali party here. It can be a very fun Diwali party complete with fun beach activities such as kayaking, swimming and banana boating! Diwali parties in a swimsuit honestly sounds heavenly.

Chalal

A tiny hamlet tucked away in the mountains of Himachal Pradesh, Chalal can be a great Diwali part destination for those who want to celebrate the festival amidst nature. Instead of doing the regular eating-drinking-playing cards routine, organise treks and camps for your guests. Make sure to not litter and have a fun, eco friendly and definitely adventurous Diwali party!

Alibaug

A favourite weekend getaway for Mumbaikars, Alibaug also makes for a great Diwali party destination. The party can turn into a weekend long event where you can laze around, enjoy delicious meals and go exploring nearby places. You can also go away to Alibaug to escape the Diwali crowds in Mumbai!

Pondicherry

Pondicherry is famous for its beaches, serene lanes, quaint French cafes and…cheap alcohol! You can organise this year’s Diwali party at Pondicherry where you and your loved ones can celebrate Diwali by hosting a barbecue party at one of the beaches. Enjoy desserts from one of the French bakeries and end the day with a glass of super cheap, super delicious port wine!

Jaisalmer

Quite an unconventional destination, we must admit! Jaisalmer is famous for its beautiful sand dunes and stunning forts. Plan a Diwali party at Jaisalmer to celebrate the festival like a royal! You can also organise camel rides and desert dinners for your guests. What a fun, unconventional and truly offbeat way to party!
