Best Honeymoon Destinations in India
Exotic honeymoon in India: magic, colors and variety after the wedding. India as a dream destination for your honeymoon – we’ll tell you why you definitely shouldn’t miss this destination after your wedding!
India is one of the most magical and mystical places on our planet. Diverse landscapes, wide views, vibrant cities and enchanted villages – here you will find a mixture that will fascinate you all around, especially on your honeymoon. We will give you an insight into this fascinating subcontinent and show you why it’s worth taking a honeymoon to India:
The magic of India
Geography, people, culture and everyday life – all these elements form the Indian subcontinent, which often attracts travelers to well-known destinations such as Pakistan, Nepal or Bangladesh. The island states of Sri Lanka and the Maldives are just as fascinating. If you take a closer look at the society of these different states, you will discover a variety of traditions, cultures and religions – four of the largest world religions (including Hinduism and Buddhism) are native to the Indian subcontinent.
India is one of the largest countries in the world and accordingly has the second highest population – the official national languages are Hindi, but due to the great diversity in the cities and in the countryside, there are over 22 other languages that are not officially recognized but are learned as a native language by an enormous number of speakers. In the middle of the Indian Ocean, India attracts not only with its breathtakingly beautiful landscapes, but also with its impressive flora and fauna and multifaceted underwater world, which tourists particularly like to explore.
Authenticity and history in Delhi, Agra and Jaipur
The northeast of the country is formed by its golden triangle, the cities of Delhi, Agra and Jaipur. These three territories are our first destinations on the list for newlyweds who want to spend their honeymoon in India. Anyone who has already read about Delhi before this post knows that this city can also be a very chaotic place that never calms down due to the high number of residents and crowded streets – because with over 15 million inhabitants, it is guaranteed that there will always be something going on in every district of the city.
New Delhi, the capital, is characterized by a strong contrast between tradition and modernity. Religion and faith still play a central role, at the same time the information and technology industry in the center is growing enormously and thus also shapes the everyday life of the local people. For newlyweds, there are exciting sightseeing destinations, a rich historical and artistic heritage and eventful excursions around the clock.
Experience Delhi in an elegant and diverse way (Rajpath, Rasina Hill and Vijay Chowk) and visit markets – where the everyday life of the city takes place. The scents, the turbulent traffic and the constant noise show you how lively this city is and every stall at the market takes you into an exciting world of pleasures. You should also not miss the Hindu – Lakshmi Narayan or Kalkaki temples, nor the Jami Masjid mosque.
Agra and the Taj Mahal are considered one of the great symbols of the country. This is one of the new seven wonders of the world – so this sight should definitely not be missing from your to-do list. Experience the beauty of the Mughal Empire here, visit fascinating palaces that date back to the Mughal era and marvel at ancient tombs, gates and fountains.
The magic of Rajasthan: Jaipur, Udaipur and Jodhpur
One of the largest states in India is Rajasthan. Jaipur is considered a source of ancient stories and legends in the northwest and is also known as the Pink City. Here, cultural diversity merges with centuries of history – many details and the beauty of the old buildings create an idyllic setting for an unforgettable honeymoon. Visit the lavishly designed palaces of the Maharajas (such as the City Palace, the Samode or the Hawa Mahal) and the excellently preserved medieval buildings (such as Fort Bernstein).
Two other fascinating cities are Udaipur and Jodhpur. Udaipur enjoys an excellent location and is reminiscent of the stories from One Thousand and One Nights. In Jodhpur you can visit magnificent buildings with restored facades and immerse yourself in the magic of India.
Fascinating temples and shrines
An important element of everyday life in India is religion. As the basis of the diverse cultures in the country, faith has a great influence on the people in the country and their lives in all regions of the subcontinent.
In the state of Tamil Nadu, newlyweds can visit breathtaking temples. Kanchipuram is considered one of the seven holy cities of Hinduism and therefore impresses with over a hundred temples that can also be visited by tourists.
The Chennai Kapaleeswarar Temple is particularly well-known, with its forty-meter-high tower offering a view of the surrounding landscapes. In Tamil Nadu, don’t miss the fine Minakshi architecture in the Madurai temples, and visit Trichy and Chidambaram, the most important visitor centers for Nataraja.
Fascinating Wildlife
The state of Madya Pradesh is considered the Heart of India and is characterized by a wild and diverse landscape. The Bengal tiger calls this state its home, as it is home to the largest population of the endangered species. In the subtropical and tropical forests of Madya Pradesh, visitors can see the Bengal tiger in all its beauty.
Karnataka and Kerala
In the state of Kerala, visit the port city of Cochin, visit the Periyar nature reserve and also visit the Guruvayoor Krishna Temple. In Punnathur Kotta, you can experience the magic of elephants and explore the surrounding canals and lakes on a boat trip. In Karnataka, Mysore is another major attraction for visitors: the Maharaja’s Palace, which will simply take your breath away.
Newlyweds are always looking for a special hotel for their honeymoon where they can unwind after the wedding. The Imperial New Delhi impresses with pure luxury, excellent service and proximity to attractive excursion destinations. The Park Hotel, which has eight hotels in India and is one of the most important star hotels in India, is just as popular with newlyweds. Here you can enjoy wellness, unique furnishings and excellent service. The Dune Wellness Group is also one of the insider tips in India – with extravagant suites you can experience the scent of India on your honeymoon and fully relax with your partner.
One of the largest resorts of the Tree of Life Resorts & Hotels is located in Jaipur. There are also other resorts in Binsar, Beranés and in the breathtakingly beautiful Dudhwa National Park. Further south you will find the Anantya Resort with 21 luxurious villas. To the east, in the Kerala region, the Carnoustie Ayurveda & Wellness Resort has the best wellness offers (spa, yoga and much more), which will take you to an impressive oasis of calm.
As you can see, there is a lot for newlyweds to discover in India! This destination is characterized by the symbiosis of adventure, luxury, pleasure & passion – regardless of whether you are taking a round trip or spending time in a wellness hotel in the country, India is always a great choice!
