Honeymoon Tours/Packages in India
What India has to offer....
If you're planning a honeymoon that's totally offbeat and novel,
India promises an experience that's whole-heartedly authentic yet
absolutely up-to-date. From India's mixed bag of tourist
attractions, a honeymooning couple can look forward to meaningful
entertainment, utter solitude, pulsating adventure and great
shopping.
Honeymoon Destinations in India
Beaches in India : India has every kind of holiday you can think of. If
it's the tropical sands and azure waters you're seeking, the options
range between the beaches of Kerala, Goa, Gujarat, Maharashtra and
Orissa, each with its own special charm. For unexplored islands and
miles of sand and palms, choose between the many that the Andaman
and Lakshadweep have to offer.
Monuments in India : With a civilization that goes back
almost 5000 years and a culture that loves every form of art, be
prepared for an amazing display of monuments and places of worship.
You'll find every region sporting a distinctive form of architecture
- it's the Kalinga style in Puri and Konark, the Rajput style in
Rajasthan and parts of Madhya Pradesh, the Mughal in Delhi and Agra,
Buddhist in Sikkim and Ladakh, the fusion of Dravida and Nagar
styles in South India, and the pure Nagara style at Khajuraho to
name a few! From forts to temples, from palaces to memorials, India
has them all.
Hill Resorts of India : The lofty
Himalayan range is packed with resorts in idyllic surroundings, but
there's much more. The Western Ghats along the west coast offer some
delightful locales amid thickly forested slopes, while the tea
bearing Nilgiri Hills in South India have enchanting spots like Ooty
and Kodaikanal. Again, Mount Abu in the Aravallis against the milieu
of precariously lodged boulders is another charming destination
worth visiting.
Palaces of India: In India, you not only get to see
a palace, you even get to live in one! Once more, the choices are
many. The Neemrana Fort not far from Delhi is an aesthetically
designed heritage resort while the Lake Palace in Udaipur amidst the
Pichola Lake is one of the most exotic destinations in the country.
Umaid Bhawan Palace, Mandawa castle, Dundlod and Porbander's Sea
Side Palace are few of the several where you can enjoy the life of
an Indian royal !
Wild Life: No matter which of the locations you settle for,
you'll never be far from a wild life sanctuary or a nature reserve.
India has 97 national parks spread across its mountains, river
valleys and coasts preserving rare species of flora and fauna. These
are well connected and well appointed with a range of accommodation
facilities to choose from.
Tribal Villages:
India has more than 550 tribes.
Though all have joined the mainstream, there are still some who
prefer to live life on their own terms. A day's trip deep into the
tribal villages of Orissa, Madhya Pradesh, Andamans, Sikkim and
Ladakh can be an enjoyable departure from your regular holiday.
Adventure: Trekking, mountain climbing, skiing, caving,
biking, rafting, rappelling, snorkeling -all these and much more can
spice up your Indian honeymoon, wherever you are. The snow clad
slopes of Gulmarg, Kumaon, Garhwal have good skiing facilities,
while mountain climbing can be taken up at any of the designated
peaks along the Himalayas. Your tour operator could suggest the best
trek routes and water sport destinations that you can include in
your itinerary.
Holistic Wellness: As the home of yoga, ayurveda and
naturopathy, when it comes to holistic wellness, India knows and
does it best. Spas and health centers are integral to any of the
resorts or hotels that you choose to put up at, so don't lose out on
a very "rejuvenating" experience. There's also a string of
luxury resorts dedicated to wellness, like the Amarvilas in Agra,
Ananda at Rishikesh, Spice Village in Periyar, Coconut Lagoon in
Kumarakom…….where leisure, entertainment and adventure are
also taken care of for a complete honeymoon experience.
Food: Prepare yourself for the widest range of dishes any
cuisine in the world has to offer. While there's always a very
international, or rather multi-national platter to choose from the
scores of fine dining restaurants in Indian cities, we highly
recommend the very palatable and unique range of Indian food.
Festivals in India: Indians love to celebrate - any
occasion, any theme, any day would do! There's a festival to welcome
a new season, a day to celebrate the harvest, one to commemorate the
birth date of a deity or saint, one to escort a deity to his country
home, one to welcome a king back home from exile or one to maintain
the bonds between siblings. Kite festivals, car festivals, boat
festivals, desert festivals, cattle and camel fairs…the list is
long and endless, and your travel agent would be able to guide you
to one if you're keen to be part of the merriment.
Connectivity: 12 international airports, 69 domestic
airports, 67,000 km of a still growing national highway network and
the world's largest rail system - getting around in India is pretty
easy, convenient and inexpensive. Regular and low cost carriers
connect larger airports to distant locations, and where air and rail
transport cannot reach, roads have been cut into difficult terrain.
Budget Honeymoon:
India is an elite honeymoon
destination with world class facilities, though very affordable
for backpackers too. The range of accommodation and transport
facilities are wide enough to suit the budget you're looking for. As
a honeymoon couple on a budget you need not miss out on any of the
pleasures the country has to offer. Your travel agent would be able
to guide you through the best fares at all locations.
Shopping in India: An unbeatable destination when it comes
to the variety that you can pick up! As rich and diverse as its
food, heritage and locations is the tempting display of textiles,
handicrafts and artifacts. Garments, carpets, trinkets and objets d'
art using an amazing variety of material and crafted to perfection
can be bought from the state emporia, the regular markets or the
locations that you visit.
