Best Honeymoon Destinations in India 2024
Post-wedding rituals, one thing that couples look forward to is honeymoon. Some lovie-dovies wait for this day for months or years and they even plan their honeymoon intricately. Many couples like to visit foreign countries on their honeymoon. While others like to explore their own country India. So this blog is for those who are going to get married soon and haven’t been able to decide where to go.
Whether you are a beach baby or a mountain person, in this blog I will cover both destinations that are perfect for honeymooning couples. Another thing I am going to cover is offbeat honeymoon destinations for those who want to visit a quiet and serene place. So without further ado let’s get started:
Goa
Undoubtedly Goa has to top the list. Famous for its beautiful beaches, vibrant nightlife, and Portuguese-influenced architecture, Goa is a popular choice for couples looking for a mix of relaxation and excitement. You can relax at a tranquil seaside resort or enjoy water sports.
Kerala
Known as “God’s Own Country,” Kerala offers serene backwaters, lush green landscapes, and beautiful hill stations like Munnar. Houseboat cruises in the backwaters and Ayurvedic spa experiences make it a romantic destination.
Shimla-Manali
If you enjoy the mountains, the Himalayan towns of Shimla and Manali in Himachal Pradesh are ideal. Snow-capped peaks, adventure activities, and cosy resorts make it a perfect romantic getaway, especially during the winter months.
Udaipur
Often referred to as the “City of Lakes,” Udaipur in Rajasthan is known for its palaces, lakes, and vibrant culture. A boat ride on Lake Pichola and a visit to the City Palace are must-do activities.
Andaman and Nicobar Islands
For a secluded and tropical experience, the Andaman Islands offer pristine beaches, clear waters, and a variety of water activities. Havelock Island is particularly popular among honeymooners.
Ladakh
If you and your partner enjoy adventure and breathtaking landscapes, Ladakh in Jammu and Kashmir provides a unique and surreal experience with its high-altitude deserts, monasteries, and picturesque landscapes.
Rishikesh and Haridwar
For a spiritual and adventurous honeymoon, consider the twin towns of Rishikesh and Haridwar along the Ganges River. Enjoy river rafting, yoga retreats, and a peaceful environment.
Ooty
Nestled in the Nilgiri Hills, Ooty in Tamil Nadu is known for its tea plantations, botanical gardens, and pleasant climate. It’s a great destination for a quiet and romantic escape.
Khajuraho
Known for its UNESCO World Heritage-listed temples with intricate erotic sculptures, Khajuraho in Madhya Pradesh provides a unique blend of history and sensuality.
Srinagar
The capital of Jammu and Kashmir, Srinagar is famous for its houseboats on Dal Lake, Mughal gardens, and the overall charm of the Kashmir Valley.
Lakshadweep
Also known as the “Maldives of India” is great for couples who have visited Goa and other beach destinations already and don’t want to go there. Lakshadweep would be great for them because of its exotic and tranquil beaches. Also, it’s not very crowded and quite affordable.
Here we covered all the famous honeymoon destinations of India. Now, let’s have a look at some offbeat honeymoon destinations.

Dhanaulti, Uttarakhand
A quieter alternative to the popular hill stations of Mussoorie and Shimla, Dhanaulti offers a tranquil atmosphere, dense forests, and breathtaking views of the Himalayas.
