The monsoon season is just about to end in the next few weeks and it’s time for many couples to share rings and flower garlands and go through all the traditions and customs that will bond them together for eternity. The concept of marriage in India is bit different from that in the West where the bond is contractual. Indians love marriages and Indian couples are always looking out for some great honeymoon destinations that they can look out for once they wrap up with all the band, baajaa, baaraat, and all the regional traditions. Many couples look out for international honeymoon destinations, but I believe there is so much more in India to explore you really don’t need to spend more. Believe it or not, India has some of the best honeymoon destinations with some of the best hotels and landscapes that can make your honeymoon memorable. Here I got you the top 5 best honeymoon destinations in India that have been popular for the kind of honeymoon experience that they offer, because first experience is always special and forever.

Lakshadweep Islands

If you are ready to spend money for your honeymoon there is no place like Lakshadweep Islands. Imagine yourself with your partner strolling on clean white sand beaches with crystal clear blue waters as far as you can see, now this is something that you won’t find anywhere else in the country so going all the way to Lakshadweep Islands is worth every rupee you spend. There are many beautiful lagoons in Lakshadweep Islands that you can enjoy along with water sport activities like snorkeling, glass bottomed boating, scuba diving and even fishing trips.

You can explore Agatti, Minicoy, Bangaram, Kadmat and Kavaratti Islands. However, make sure that you look out for best honeymoon packages as it might cost you more. You will also need some documentation to handle so keep factor in mind when you are planning to head to Lakshadweep Islands. Oh yes, one more important thing to note, avoid booking your return journey on the same day of arrival at Kochi (Cochin) because your ship arrival time can change due to weather or port clearance.

Kovalam

Although, Goa tops the list when it comes to beach destinations and many people recommend it as one of the best honeymoon destinations in India, but I would not do that. Towards the end of the year, Goa is quite full with tourists coming up from all over the globe and I believe newlyweds need some space and privacy rather than a beer and pumped up loud music. In that case, I would recommend Kovalam that substitutes in a better way for all those who need beach destinations for their honeymoon trip.

Just 16 kilometers from Thiruvananthapuram, the capital city of Kerala, Kovalam is an ideal and among the best honeymoon destinations in India. There are plenty of hotel options here that offer complete privacy so couples can spend some quality time without interruptions. Enjoy some cultural programmes, massages, and catamaran cruising with your love partner. During the evening, you can walk on the sandy beaches of Kovalam and experience the tropical sunset. You can find some budget friendly cottages, Ayurvedic health resorts, shopping centers and even yoga centers to rejuvenate and feel closer to your partner.

Coorg

While some couples prefer adventure some just want to get lost and disappear. Well, if you are choosing the second option Coorg is a secluded getaway away from the commotion of your regular urban life. Better known as the Scotland of India, Coorg offers the best that you can find with loads of greenery around you and the aroma of rich South Indian coffee plantations.

The landscape here is mesmerizing, intoxicating and mystically charming offering you the right kind of honeymoon experience that you and your partner deserve. The pleasant weather only makes it better for you to walk around huge trees of oranges, black pepper, paddy, cardamom, coffee and anthurium flowers that offer peace and ideal atmosphere for romance.

Jodhpur

Jodhpur stands for loyalty and dedication and you will find many heritage buildings and structures here that still speak of unconditional love. If you are not interested in beaches and islands Jodhpur is the best honeymoon destination in India that offers you a glimpse of India. If you want to experience a royal life you can book a room in palace hotels that offer you all the comfort of the present time along with touch of yesteryears. Couples can explore village safaris, majestic forts, royal palaces, interesting landmark structures and even local markets that sell handicrafts.

Jodhpur is also an interesting destination for couples that love shopping together. You can look out for tours to Umaid Bhavan Palace, Mehrangarh Fort, Balsamand Lake, Phool Mahal, and Mandore Gardens. You can also visit Kumbhalgarh Wildlife Sanctuary is you are interested in enjoying wildlife. If you want to explore multiple cities in short time, Udaipur is just five hours drive from Jodhpur so you can explore that as well.

Manali

Up north, I would recommend Manali as one of the top and best honeymoon destinations in India. The place is easily accessible from Chandigarh and there are regular buses that ply here from Delhi, Ambala, Dehradun, and Shimla. If you are looking for some snow capped mountains and chilly climate this is the right place to be.

Manali offers some of the most breathtaking views and landscapes so you can click some great honeymoon pictures here that you can take back and paste it in your album and cherish it for lifetime. There are interesting temples here like Hidimba Devi Temple and Manu Temple that you can visit and explore. Manali is also ideal for those couples that prefer adventure like trekking and winter sports. With plenty of hotels, resorts and cottages here finding accommodation is never a problem. So, you can go ahead and have a great time with your partner because like I said earlier, first experience is always special and forever.
