Top 5 Honeymoon Destinations In India

Planning your honeymoon? We understand the struggle! India has a rich history and diverse culture. Any place you choose in India has its own heritage. This makes India the perfect destination for a honeymoon, as it has something for everyone! Take a look at our list of the top 5 honeymoon destinations in India.

1. Andaman & Nicobar Islands: The Andaman and Nicobar islands are the most sought-after honeymoon destination for couples right now! And why wouldn't it be? Crystal blue waters, golden beaches, untouched greenery, and so many activities for you to enjoy as a new couple! You can go Snorkelling in the blue waters at North Bay Island to swim with the extensive marine life and look at the rarest corals. If you're not too keen on swimming, you can take a Glass Bottom boat ride where you can see the fish and corals underneath you!

We recommend that you see the bioluminescence at Havelock Island, where the water glows while you row the boat. You can also go scuba diving, kayaking, take a seaplane ride and visit the Cellular Jail for its infamous Light and Sound show. If you want to experience the true beauty of Andaman, we suggest you skip the monsoon season and go anytime between October and May. Skyway Tour can help you plan the perfect honeymoon with our customised Indian honeymoon packages.

2. Himachal Pradesh: A honeymooners paradise, there is no dearth of beauty in the state of Himachal Pradesh! Cosy up with your spouse in quaint cottages with the mesmeric backdrop of the Himalayas. You can travel to numerous places in Himachal, like Shimla, Kullu-Manali, and Dalhousie, to explore the true beauty of Himachal.

In Manali, you can trek in the Himalayas or go river rafting on the River Beas. You should also visit the Jogini Waterfalls and Hidimba Temple. You can travel along the Parvati Valley to visit neighbouring villages like Kasol and Manikaran.

If you want to try out adventure activities, we recommend you visit Rohtang Pass or Solang Valley for skiing, paragliding, and horse riding. You can also visit the capital of Himachal Pradesh, Shimla! It was once considered the summer capital during the British Era. You can shop your heart on the pedestrian-friendly Mall Road or ride on the Kalka Shimla Toy Train. Dalhousie, also known as the Little Switzerland of India, is a must-see destination in Himachal. The snow-capped peaks of the Dhauladhar ranges are clearly visible from Dalhousie. Lined with gorgeous meadows, dense jungles, and waterfalls, Dalhousie is also known for its woollen Himachali shawls and handicrafts. We recommend you visit Panchpula, Satdhara Falls, Chamera Lake, and Kalatop Wildlife Sanctuary in Dalhousie.

3. Coorg: The Scotland of India, Coorg or Kodagu, is rich in spice and coffee plantations! With forest-covered hills and streams flowing through them, Coorg is the perfect destination for a relaxing honeymoon. You can visit Madikeri Fort, Omkareshwara Temple, Abbey Falls, Raja's Seat, Dubare Elephant Camp, Tala Cauvery and Baghamandala, etc. For all those who seek an adventurous trip, you can go trekking, river rafting, and quad biking.

You will find numerous options to spend a romantic honeymoon with your loved one, like having a campfire or candlelight dinner.

4. Darjeeling: One of India's most sought-after hill stations, Darjeeling is famous for its breath-taking views and wholesome Darjeeling Tea! Located in West Bengal, with views of the third highest peak in India, the Kanchenjunga peak is a sight to behold. If you're planning a winter honeymoon, Darjeeling is the place to be with its cool climate all year round! However, we recommend you avoid going in the monsoon season as the hilly areas are prone to landslides. Try the locally brewed tea at a tea estate and walk along the acres of tea plantations. You can visit the monasteries, zoo, and botanical gardens in Darjeeling. One sight you should not miss is the sunrise at Tiger Hill.

You should also ride on the Toy Train in Darjeeling, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Connecting Darjeeling with Siliguri, the train ride offers scenic views of the mountains. It also passes through the highest train station in the world, Ghum, nestled at an altitude of 2258 metres.

You can also visit Munnar in the Idukki district, which is famous for its tea estates. Munnar is home to the rare Neelakurinji flowers that bloom only once in 12 years. We suggest you also visit the Eravikulam National Park and Salim Ali Bird Sanctuary. Shop for some fresh tea and spices at the local markets while you're there.

If you're looking to retreat into the wilderness, Thekkady is the place to be! It is home to the country's largest Tiger Reserve in Periyar. There are numerous trekking trails for adventurous ones! You can also take a boat safari in the sanctuary to spot bison, wild elephants and boars.

Alleppy, or Alappuzha, is known for its gorgeous backwaters. You can book a houseboat and look over the backwaters to see vast green paddy fields.
