Top 5 Honeymoon Destinations in India for South Indian Couples
India offers no shortage of romantic escapes — from misty northeastern highlands to golden Rajasthan deserts. Here are five destinations we recommend most often to honeymooners travelling from South India.
1. Meghalaya
Meghalaya’s cloud-draped hills, crystal rivers, and living root bridges create a fairy-tale setting for couples. The Dawki river — where the water is so clear the boats appear to float on air — is one of the most photographed honeymoon spots in India right now. Best time: October to March.
2. Kerala Backwaters
A houseboat night on the Alleppey backwaters, surrounded by silence and star-lit water, is a bucket-list experience for Indian honeymooners. Add Munnar’s cool tea estate mornings and Kovalam’s sunset beaches for a complete Kerala honeymoon. Easily reachable from Coimbatore by road or flight.
3. Himachal Pradesh — Manali & Shimla
For couples who want snow, Manali delivers — especially in winter and early spring when Rohtang and Solang Valley are blanketed white. Shimla’s colonial charm adds a different romantic note. Fly into Chandigarh for best connectivity from South India.
4. Udaipur, Rajasthan
The Venice of the East earns its nickname. Lake Pichola, the City Palace, and rooftop restaurants overlooking the water make Udaipur one of the most inherently romantic cities in India. Combine with Jodhpur’s blue lanes for a longer Rajasthan honeymoon.
5. Goa (South Goa)
South Goa’s quieter beaches — Palolem, Agonda, Butterfly Beach — offer intimacy that North Goa’s party scene doesn’t. A beach shack dinner by the Arabian Sea, a sunrise walk on an empty beach, a spice plantation tour — simple pleasures that make for an unforgettable honeymoon.
All five destinations are packages we arrange regularly from Tamil Nadu and Karnataka. Enquire today and we’ll design a honeymoon itinerary that fits your dates and budget.
