Best Honeymoon Destinations in India: Kerala, Kashmir, Andaman and Goa

By the Idea Holiday team · 5 min read

Short answer

For a first honeymoon in India, Goa and Kerala are the easiest to plan. Kashmir is the pick for snow and houseboats, and Andaman for beaches and scuba diving. Choose by the kind of holiday you both want, then by the month you travel.

Kashmir: snow and houseboats

Stay a night on a houseboat on Dal Lake, take the Gulmarg gondola up towards the snow and spend a day in the Pahalgam valleys. Visit from April to June or September to October for pleasant weather, or from December to February for snow. Five nights is a good length, and a honeymoon package from about ₹15,999 per person is a typical starting point (approx.).

Kerala: backwaters and tea hills

Munnar's tea gardens, a spice-plantation stay in Thekkady and a private houseboat in Alleppey make a slow, scenic honeymoon. September to March is the most comfortable time. A five-night plan starts from about ₹14,999 per person (approx.), before flights.

Andaman: beaches and scuba

Radhanagar Beach on Havelock is the highlight, and the islands are good for snorkelling and a first scuba dive. Book ferries early, since they fill quickly from December to May. A plan of four to five nights starts from about ₹18,999 per person (approx.), with ferries and transfers.

Goa: easy resorts

Goa is the simplest honeymoon to plan, with short flights from most cities and beach resorts for every budget. November to February is the best time. Three nights at a beachfront resort starts from about ₹12,999 per person (approx.), so it is often the most affordable of the four.
