Your honeymoon is the most important phase of your married life. It makes for the most treasured memories and sets the tone of your entire life together. Therefore, choosing the honeymoon destination needs a lot of thought. The world is laced with stunning places to explore. But you need not go too far; India in itself is no less when it comes to romantic destinations.
To help you choose, we give you 6 most romantic ones. They also happen to be the most popular ones for a really long time.
Goa
Gentle and azure waves on white sand beaches while you walk, hand in hand, with your partner- is there anything more romantic? Apart from moonlit strolls on the beach or going for a swim, Goa has plenty of other activities that you can enjoy. Windsurfing, paragliding, sailing, etc. are some water sports that almost all hotels and resorts offer. If you do not enjoy outdoor activities, you can enjoy a little taste of Vegas right here in India by hitting one of the waterfront casinos.

- Sunset and sundown cruises
- Exploring old Goa
- Get a temporary tattoo by the beach
- Shopping at the beach-side flea markets
- Try Portuguese cuisine

Manali
If you enjoy the great outdoors, there is nothing like Manali. You can go skiing and explore the lovely countryside during the day, and curl up with a mug of hot chocolate in front of a blazing fireplace at night, with your sweetheart. Leisurely walks in the tiny markets, exploring the local cuisine, while gazing at the snow-capped mountains are some things you definitely cannot miss.

Leh
A new-found favourite among young couples, Leh is the place that displays nature’s beauty at its best. Serene shades of blue, green, turquoise in the pristine waters, and tones of warm brown in the terrain, make it exotic. The best part is that despite its stunning beauty, Leh is not yet crowded and commercialised, so you can still enjoy without spending a fortune.

Port Blair

The serenity of this place is something that can only be experienced. Apart from the natural beauty, it is best known for its scuba diving. People from all over the world visit Port Blair for scuba diving. There are plenty of 5 star resorts here, and they are way cheaper than luxury resorts at many other locations.

Jaipur
The city of royalty, Jaipur, still has an ancient regal glory clinging to it. The forts and palaces of the “Pink City” recall the glamour and majesty of the eras gone by. This is without a doubt the best place to shop for handicrafts in the whole country. Not only can you shop-till-you-drop, but you can explore the sightseeing options to your heart’s content.
