India Honeymoon

Expect the unexpected on an outdoors honeymoon adventure through India’s diverse landscape of unforgettable sights. Explore a panorama of alpine valleys, mountain peaks, coniferous forests, tumbling rivers and jungle-covered wetlands for a range of trekking, white-water rafting and wildlife adventures.

Things to do and see

India’s vast continent is crowded with more than 400 wildlife sanctuaries. Venture into the wetlands at Sundarbans National Park to see legendary man-eating Bengal tigers, spot the endangered Indian one-horn rhinoceros at Kaziranga National Park, see Asian lions at Sasan Gir and spot a tiger or two at Ranthambore National Park or at the Corbett Tiger Reserve.

Along the way, be seduced by India’s everyday images of bejewelled palaces, crenellated forts, finely carved temples, great mosques and lively bazaars.

In Rajasthan, explore the exotic Palace of the Winds and the spectacular ‘Pink City’ of Jaipur. Visit the exquisite Taj Mahal in Agra at sunrise and discover the deserted hilltop city of Fatehpur Sikri.

Watch timeless spiritual rituals and savour dishes cooked from a palette of exotic spices.

Shopping

Rajasthan cotton is distinctive and colourful. Indian silverwork is world famous and its jewellery traditionally heavy and elaborate. Gems include diamonds, lapis lazuli, Indian star rubies, star sapphires, moonstones and aquamarines.

Note: There is a veto on the export of antiques and art objects over 100 years old, animal skins and any objects made from skins.
