So you
have just had a big fat Indian wedding and are really looking forward
to spending some time alone with your beloved, far away from the prying eyes of
relatives and family. Honeymoons are not just an opportunity for couples to
spend some romantic or relaxing time together; it is also a chance to know each
other better. Weddings are a stressful affair and especially Indian weddings
where the customs and rituals seem to continue for more than a week. Honeymoon
gives the couple the opportunity to unwind and feel each others presence and
revel in the bond of holy matrimony that they will now share for their entire
life. However, romantic that may sounds, the actual task of picking up a
honeymoon destination is no mean job and requires a lot of planning from both
partners.
It is
said that there is no honeymoon couple who have not been fascinated by the
charms of the hills. Keeping that in mind, take a look at the top 5 honeymoon destinations in India:
1. Munnar: This is
the ideal hill destination for a newlywed couple as the serene hills and the
breathtaking views create an atmosphere of charm. Munnar is famous for its tea
plantations and it’s Eravikulam National Park which is a storehouse of rich
flora and fauna. One can also visit the
beautiful Mattupetty Lake or check out the Echo Point which is said to be a
must visit for all people in love.
2.
Coorg: This place is also
referred to as the Scotland of the East and not without reason. Coorg, or
Kodugu as it is locally called, is for couples who enjoy both heritage and
adventure with their dose of nature. One could visit the Dubare National Forest
Reserve and enjoy the wildlife or visit the TalaCauvery which is said to be the
source of the river Kaveri. This hill station is also an ornithologist’s dream
come true as the place boasts of 25% of the species of birds found in India.
3.
Uttaranchal: There
are just so many beautiful places to cover over here that one cannot mention a
particular place. Nainital, Auli,
Mussorie, Corbett, Rishikesh, Kausani, Ranikhet, Almora, Kanatal etc. The
entire of Uttarakhand is a visual delight to every visitor.
4.
Manali: This has been a classic
favorite for people across all generations and yet, this place fails to lose
its appeal. Though Delhi and including Shimla, Kullu etc makes the whole
Himachal scenic, Manali is a special charmer. Places of interest include
Rohtang Pass, Solang Valley, Vashishth Kund, and the famous Hirimba Temple
among others.
5. Lakshadweep: Not
leaving out the beaches from our list, this pristine beauty can give many an
international location a run for their money. It is clean and a plastic free
union territory and the unspoiled beauty of beaches like Minicoy, Kavaratti,
Kalpeni, and Agatti will surely capture your hearts.
