India as a whole is a magical destination, but in our experience
many couples tend to try to plan their honeymoon to somewhere
neither has been before. When that's the case, and with a nod to
the lovely likes of Kerala, Karnataka and the Himalayas, there's
nowhere quite like Rajasthan to enjoy the best that India has to
offer for first-timers.
So where to start? The majestic cities of Jaipur, Jodhpur and
Udaipur should definitely appear in the itinerary - Jaipur for high
energy and highly luxurious places to stay, Jodhpur for the
impressive Mehrangarh Fort and beautiful blue-painted houses and
finally Udaipur. Because? Well, because it's simply the most
romantic city in India, and somewhere couples can enjoy boat rides
or even private dinners on a platform on the lake.
If you've got time, try to visit the westerly city of Jaisalmer,
sitting pretty like a gigantic sandcastle in the Thar Desert, and
while it's technically not in Rajasthan, we'd also recommend
working Agra in to the mix because the Taj Mahal is every bit as
beautiful as dvertised, and the ultimate architectural statement of
love.
Away from the cities, Rajasthan has a wide range of landscapes to
explore, and lovely places to stay from which to enjoy them. There
are the deserts mentioned earlier, but also areas of verdant hills
and - most notably in Ranthambore National Park - wild jungle where
tigers still roam. A few days safari while staying in a charming
tented camp and spotting tigers (fingers crossed) is another truly
memorable honeymoon experience.
As you can probably tell by now here's more than enough to do in
Rajasthan to fill a fortnight's honeymoon, but if the lure of the
beach is too irresistible, Rajasthan works well in combo with
either Kerala in the south of India, or Oman which has some
seriously superb beachfront properties.
