New Year Events in Mumbai

Watch Fireworks at Marine Drive and go partying at Gateway

There can be no better way of experiencing Mumbai's energy level than standing at the beautiful Marine Drive, welcoming the new year. Experiencing Mumbai in ultimate celebration mode here and the Gateway of India promises a long night of fun, out in the open, watching fireworks with families and friends. Those who were at the World Cup 2011 finale nearby might get a bit nostalgic about that epic night, as well! To top all this off is music, food (from street food to 5-star hotels) and happy cheers giving all the right positive vibes for a prosperous new year.

Location: Marine Drive, Churchgate & Gateway of India, Colaba
Cost: Free

Find specially curated menus

Pretty much every 5-star hotel, bar, and club in Mumbai will host a party for New Year’s Eve (even if it doesn't brand it so!), with offerings for everyone - DJ music, unlimited food and drinks, special menus and more can be expected. Some parties have themes like specific attire and masks. While several of these events will be listed on Paytm Insider, you can expect pretty much everyone from your local Udipi restaurant upwards to join in this once-a-year celebration (alright, that might be an exaggeration, but you get the picture!). You can check out several dining experiences in Mumbai.

Location: At restaurants all over Mumbai
Cost: ~INR 200 - 10,000 (depending on where you go, and your appetite)

Go sailing off Marine Drive or Gateway of India

Did you know you could sail off Marine Drive? Knock this one off your 2022 bucket list even before the year begins. What better way to spend New Year’s Eve evening, than by sailing this famed coast with the view of the city sparkling in lights and fireworks? The Arabian sea will keep you enthralled for two hours. Sail away with these events in Mumbai.

Location: Marine Drive, Churchgate & Gateway of India, Colaba
Cost: INR 2500 - 5000 per person (depending on operator)

Watch the stars from the world's biggest national park in a major city

Now here's something totally unique, for which you don't even need to head out too far. For those tired of the usual clubbing scenes, but not too tired to head to a camp, can spend a night under the sky with an overnight camping trip at Sanjay Gandhi National Park gazing at stars and city lights. The stay in the tents can be further enhanced by organizing tailor-made nature appreciation events like treks, slide shows, star gazing sessions by contacting the Nature Information Centre. Given that the camping will start from 5 PM, one can use the earlier half of the day exploring Lion/Tiger Safari as well as the ancient Buddhist caves at Kanheri, which gives people a stunning view of the city.

Looking for something sooner? There are several excellent getaways in and around Mumbai which you can explore here (and some in SGNP too!).

Location: Sanjay Gandhi National Park, Borivili
Cost: INR 5000 per person
Contact: SGNP Nature Information Center

Stay Indoors and host an epic house party

If you're the type who prefers playing the host, there are several services to help you host an incredible party of your own. Feeling musical? Rent a karaoke machine! If your gang is the type who gets its kicks out of video games, you don't need to buy an expensive console, you can just rent one (and the games)! Or if you really want to class things up, skip the cheap booze from the neighbourhood wine shop and splurge on a bartender. Or, hey, you could rent a projector and make a movie night of it.

Cost: Free to whatever your budget is!

Go on a Mumbai Pub crawl (hic!)

For those who like partying but don’t like to be tied at one event, join (or host!) a pub crawl - this is a great way to sample various cocktails and craft beers, make new friends, and meet some old ones and bring in the New Year. Plus, you get the best of all worlds. Paytm Insider highly recommends Lower Parel (where Kamala Mills - Todi Mills - Peninsula have several top establishments); Andheri West (the 'microbrewery district'); Colaba (where several tiny pubs keep the party going next to some of the city's best-known attractions). Cheers!

Cost: INR 1000 – 5000 per person.

Just smile and wave(s), boys! Host a private house party by the shore
