Best 5 Romantic Destinations in India for Couples You Will Like
Are you planning a trip with your partner but don’t know where you should go?
There is no shortage of places to visit in India, but finding the right location for a couple to enjoy time together is another story. You will be looking for a location that has romantic thoughts, quietness, and enjoyable travel time to get to.
The following are the 5 best romantic destinations in India for couples that actually
Provide what you are trying to find - whether you are planning your honeymoon, an anniversary trip, or just a weekend away from everyday life.
1. Kashmir
Kashmir is one of the most beautiful places in India. The mountains are covered with snow, the valleys are filled with greenery, and the lakes look like a piece of art.
For couples, the main attraction is Srinagar. Staying in a houseboat on Dal Lake will be something you will always remember about your trip. In the morning, there will be small boats that come to sell you chai, freshly cut flowers, and fresh vegetables. You can take a shikara ride in the evening, especially at sunset. It is so peaceful and romantic.
Pahalgam and Gulmarg, the most peaceful places, are worth adding to the trip too. Pahalgam has meadows. Gulmarg has the Gondola ride with mountain views that feel unlike anything else.
Best time to go:
April to June for spring and green valleys.
December to February if you want snow.

2. Manali
India has some of the best romantic destinations in the world, and Manali is one of them! With its stunning snow-covered mountains, beautiful rivers, and abundant cozy cafes, you will forget about all of your worries while enjoying the beauty of nature in Manali.
If you're the adventurous couple, Solang Valley has the perfect amount of excitement! Choose from paragliding, zorbing, and all the snow activities while visiting during the winter months. Alternatively, Old Manali is perfect for couples who prefer to spend their time leisurely strolling around town, enjoying delicious food and quaint restaurants.
The evenings in Manali provide the perfect atmosphere for couples; you can sit by a bonfire inside a warm cafe with mountains hugging you from all sides. There is an instant romance found in these moments; it simply cannot be replicated anywhere else!
Best time to go:
October to February for snow and a cozy trip. March to June for pleasant weather and outdoor activities.

3. Udaipur
Once you arrive, many people agree that Udaipur is the most romantic place to visit in India due to its breathtaking beauty, with an abundance of lakes, majestic historical fort complex structures, and quaint shops located along the narrow streets. You won't forget the experience of taking a boat cruise on Lake Pichola during sunset, and you certainly will see the Lake Palace floating in the middle of the lake as if you were watching a movie! Dining overlooking Lake Pichola from a rooftop terrace during your visit will provide another lasting memory.
Unlike visiting a hill station or mountainous region, Udaipur focuses on culture, heritage, and all the beautiful Rajasthani architecture and history, which are perfect if you and your partner appreciate wonderful architectural designs, quiet evenings together, and all the romance of a place such as this.
Best time to go:
October to March is the best time.
Rajasthan summers are very hot, so avoid April to June.
What to do together:
Sunset boat ride on Lake Pichola
Walk through the City Palace complex
Dinner at a rooftop restaurant with lake views
Visit Saheliyon Ki Bari in the morning
4. Kerala
Kerala is a unique place to find romance. Romanticism here is characterised by being slow-moving; in nature, it has numerous plants and trees with large amounts of vegetation; and being tranquil in that the romantic atmosphere here seems to be far more difficult to find than in other parts of the world.
Most people come to Alleppey primarily to experience the backwaters. Rent a boat for a night, as you will float peacefully down canals lined with palms and rice fields, leaving you feeling relaxed and unworried about anything in your life.
If you'd like to find cooler temperatures and hills in Kerala, Munnar has lovely tea farms and clean air. Thekkady offers opportunities to spend time in the lake and see different wildlife.
There are also wonderful Ayurvedic spas throughout Kerala, so a couples spa day at an Ayurvedic facility would complement the peaceful atmosphere of the area.
Best time to go:
September to March, you can go.
Avoid June and July, which are peak monsoon months in Kerala.
What to do together:
Overnight stay on a houseboat in Alleppey
Morning walk through Munnar tea gardens
Couples' Ayurvedic massage
Kathakali or Theyyam cultural show in the evening
5. Coorg
Coorg does not enjoy as much fame as Kashmir or Manali; it is one of the best places in India for a vacation with your loved one. Nestled in the Western Ghats of Karnataka, Coorg boasts incredible scenery created by its coffee and spice plantations. Mornings are filled with the smell of fresh coffee. Almost everywhere you go, there are trees surrounding you. It rains regularly in Coorg, and the mist that covers the hills is breathtakingly beautiful! The majority of the romantic couples visiting Coorg stay in a private plantation homestay - a small, private, unfurnished home that is very reasonably priced. Imagine waking up in the middle of a coffee plantation and eating your breakfast on a quiet veranda, with no schedule whatsoever- this is a vacation at Coorg.
If you choose to visit the Abbey Falls, the Namdroling Monastery, or Raja's Seat for a sunset, you will find that they are all quite nice spots to visit. However, for many couples, the biggest attraction to Coorg is the ability to relax and do nothing.
Best time to go:
October to March for clear weather.
June to August is monsoon season, which is beautiful but very wet.
What to do together:
Stay at a coffee plantation homestay
Visit Abbey Falls in the morning
Walk through the spice markets in Madikeri
Evening coffee tasting at the estate
