About this experience
VAGABOND’S PYJAMA PARTY IS BACK!
Somehow, 2026 went really slow and really fast at the same time! Either way, we’re ready to start thinking about 2027. We’re gonna keep it simple, let nature do most of the work while we create a relaxed (and fun) space for you to enjoy it. All you have to do is put on your best pyjamas and head on over to Lake Arthur, Bhandardara!
We’re bringing in the new year just the way we like it—in the great outdoors, surrounded by people we love and some beautiful live music, fun games and relaxing activities to help us take a real break.
Even if you have never been camping before or you want to join this scene like Hans (solo), our Experience Managers will always be around to make sure you are comfortable.

Day-by-Day Itinerary
2
Day 1 | Thursday, 31st December, 2026
3:00 pm: Arrive at the boating dock at Bhandardara between 3-5 pm. If you are joining us on the private bus, we will be leaving Bombay between 9 and 11 am, depending on your pickup point (More deets on this below). We board the boats that will bring you to the campsite in groups.
4:00 pm: Once you arrive at the gorgeous campsite, you will be allotted your tent. When you’ve gotten comfortable and had your chai-naashta, you can spend the rest of the evening swimming or chilling by the lake and catching a breathtaking sunset.
7:00 pm: After your swim, get ready to play a whole bunch of foolish but exciting games with the Vagabond EMs. I mean, you can also just sit and chill, but here’s the thing: every game you play brings you guaranteed prizes, and some of those prizes are straight-up irresistible!
8:00 pm: As a rightful buildup to the new year, and sticking to our theme, we’ll get ready for the ‘Pyjama Party Catwalk’. Don your best pyjama and walk the ramp. Loudest cheers win the biggest prize!
9:00 pm: After all the shenanigans, we’re ready for the best part of the night—the music! We grab our delicious appetisers and gather around the stage for some live music. Trust us, this music WILL make you get up and dance. Soak in the vibes till we’re ready for dinner.
12:00 am: At the stroke of midnight, as is tradition, we will burn the old man and say our final goodbyes to 2026.
Since it’s gonna be freezing by the lakeside, we will continue chilling into the night around a campfire. With some roasted marshmallows, great company, and the sounds of music, this might just be the best way to spend the first few hours of the year.
Day 2 | Friday, 1st January, 2027
4:30 am: Wake-up call. Haha, gotcha. JK. Please go back to sleep.
9:00 am: Wake up and get yourself some hearty breakfast. Soak in the beauty of the place one last time, and board the boats, one group at a time, back to the dock.
11:00 am: We board our vehicles and go home, ready to take on whatever 2027 has to throw at us (hopefully).

Vagabond Experiences
Experience Provider
Vagabond started out as a project by four friends with a disdain for the ordinary. The idea was simple; take people out of their comfort zones. Not like Roadies, but just enough to bond them together through beautiful and authentic experiences. Happiness, as they say, is only real when shared. And share we did.
The company was founded in 2014. As fresh Bachelor of Arts degree holders, companies were lining up to hire us fine gentlemen; we’re kidding. Fueled by entrepreneurial zeal, we started with small events in the city like heritage walks through Bombay’s old quarters. As musicians and travellers ourselves, we decided to marry these two loves of our lives. That is how the idea for the first Fields of Sound™ came about. Since then, it has only been onward and upwards for us.
Since 2014, we’ve made friends like family through our journey. Our little ‘Vaga’-Fam. It’s safe to say, it’s been quite an adventure. One we would like you to join :)
