Places that are perfect for a summer honeymoon in India

While getting married in the summers that India sees is definitely not a boon, a honeymoon might just set the tone right. From the beautiful Himalayas and the wonders of Northeast to the very charming Kerala and some wonders in the South, India has a lot to pamper the newlyweds. Take your pick from one of these stunning destinations this summer, even if you are not planning a honeymoon!

1. Kinnaur
If the two of you are in love with the Himalayas and seek to avoid the regular routes, Kinnaur is just the place for your honeymoon. It promises a fine dash of adventure as well, for the region is primarily accessible only via roads, and makes for the road trip of a lifetime. Some of the major pit spots on the route are Sangla, Chitkul, Kalpa, Reckong Peo and Nako. Apart from some of the most surreal settings, you will have some of the finest experiences including cuisine, culture, religion and history as well.
2. Ladakh
Couples looking for a more relaxed yet adventurous escape for their honeymoon in the Indian Himalayas can definitely head to Ladakh. This wonderful escape has direct air connectivity from the national capital, and is great for couples who seek a luxurious escape in the mountains. Look out for the new-age luxury camps, especially in the Nubra Valley, for an escape like no other.

3. Yelagiri
A pretty, little hill station in South India’s Tamil Nadu, Yelagiri is for those keen on a break from the typical mountain getaways. Quite a quaint place, Yelagiri has an old-school charm. Its proximity to Bengaluru, at just 178 km away, makes it quite a hit with the city people as well. Once here, you can go on short hikes as well. Perfect for those keen to get away from the crowd without getting too far away!
4. Meghalaya
A summer honeymoon is best done in the hills, and what better than the state of Meghalaya. Usually lesser crowded than its counterparts in the north of India, this state has a lot to offer. While you can choose to have a very leisurely experience and do nothing other than looking at the swirling clouds in the mountains here. And then, there are the awe-inspiring living root bridges as well.

5. Nagaland
the two of you are keen on a cultural treat and do not mind being nimble on your toes, Nagaland should be your wonderland. A place of uber-interesting experiences, this is the place for a couple who likes out of the box trips and experiences that make for the memories of a lifetime.

6. Kumarakom Well, a honeymoon in India cannot be thought of till you have Kerala right at the top of your list. While summers in Kerala are quite hot and humid, with monsoons and winters being the best time to visit, there is a way out with some will of course. Kumarakom in Kerala is home to some of the most luxurious retreats, hotels and spas, and you can definitely have a gala time there. Of course, the famous Kerala backwaters are right around the corner.
