1. Read to Each Other at Kabini, Karnataka

This quiet hamlet on the edge of Nagarhole National Park sure feels like a godsend when you want to get away from the madness of rituals and ceremonies with your sweetheart. There are several cottages and cabins here, situated at the banks of the Kabini river in the middle of a lovely meadow. On a sunny afternoon, there’s nothing more romantic than reading your favourite book to your partner. Sounds perfect, doesn’t it!

2. Visit the Nubra Valley in Kashmir

Travel binds. Travel deepens love. When she clutches your arm exclaiming at the beauty of the Nubra Valley, you’ll find the strings of your heart being tugged at. Hence, it becomes important to keep this one on your checklist as a couple. The surreal beauty of the Nubra Valley is one of the things that’ll stick in your memory for as long as you live.

3. Go Desert Camping in Jaisalmer

Camping under a starry sky is one of the most romantic things you can do as a couple. Desert camping in Jaisalmer is nothing, and yet everything that you expect to get out of this experience. The opulent camps, with music, dance, and pre-arranged bonfires, is sure to give you a taste of a life you’ve been wanting to have for some time. The star filled night sky and the miles and miles of pale rolling sand dunes make for a memorable couple holiday.

4. Selfie at the Chitrakote Waterfalls, Chhattisgarh​

Often known as the Niagara Falls of India, the Chitrakote Waterfalls is a must-do if you like charting unchartered territory when you’re travelling. Very few seasoned travellers know about these humungous falls, which happen to be the biggest in India.

5. Have Dinner at Sheesh Mahal, Leela Palace Udaipur

Sitting by the Lake Pichola under a star studded sky, surrounded by candles stars and a breeze that gently caresses your cheeks while you gaze into the depths of each other’s eyes, the Sheesh Mahal is truly an unforgettable experience. It helps that Udaipur is one of the most romantic destinations in India, perfect to be visited with your loved one.

6. Boat Ride on the Umiam Lake in Meghalaya

The almost clear, beautiful Umiam Lake is a must visit when you are in Meghalaya, and you should be in Meghalaya with your better half at least once to feel the breath-taking beauty of the northeast! The lake, although manmade, is one of the most beautiful ones you will find. Get a boat ride on the Umiam River for a lifelong memory with the love of your life.

7. Take a Trip to Mcleodganj in the Beautiful Kangra Winter

Few places embody the beauty of a happy winter like the Kangra Valley in Himachal. With some great options for good Tibetan food and lovely views and vistas, Mcleod is a wonderful wintry getaway. Club your trip with the Dharamshala International Film Festival in November, to get the most out of it.

8. Trek the Valley of Flowers

Remember how you got her flowers for that date together and you could see a faint smile on her face to the very end of the night? Now imagine the wonder and amazement in that smile when you take her to a place where you can look at a flowering valley from up above. The Valley of Flowers trek is a must do as a couple, when you’re freshly joined in the bond of love. If you’re into adventure, book your flights to Dehradun already!

9. View the Taj Mahal on a Full Moon Night

If you’ve grown up in India, you would know that Taj Mahal is one of those places you don’t miss out on with someone you love. But if you visit, or have read about the Taj Mahal on a full moon night, you would know that you simply wouldn’t want to miss out on this experience with that person only whose smile would probably be brighter than the marble monument washed silver by the moonlight.

10. Wine Tasting in Nasik

France encapsulates the charm of perfect love stories, with the Eiffel Tower, cheese and wine. But what if you could do all of that (minus the Eiffel Tower, but!) right here in India? Oh yes, you can. For a short honeymoon, when you have to get back to work pronto, head over to Nasik for a desi tasting of good wine. The cheese follows, obviously, and the experience of knocking back glasses of good Chardonnay is unparalleled for a unique romantic experience with your partner.

11. Dip in the Infinity Pool at Leela, Kovalam

Water babies, bonus for you! Kerala is a treat for any couple, whether they’ve been through the ravages of time or are just starting out. Kovalam, as one of the less frequented and yet one of the most beautiful coasts of India, is easily your perfect retreat for unwinding after all the wedding fiesta. Spend three days at the Leela, zone out at their private beach, or simply laze around in their infinity pool, considered one of the most beautiful ones in India. Photo ops on your trip together are a great way to rewind and recapitulate!
