India is blessed with some of the most beautiful cities that proudly showcase its scenic locales, progressive scale, and rich heritage. And amongst those cities lie some of the most romantic honeymoon destinations – where the aura itself is filled with nothing but love!
It is a known fact that the winter season is indeed the wedding season in India. Now while the season may be perfect to let the warmth of romance take over, a big challenge that newlywed couples face is picking a honeymoon destination! A part of this dilemma is the fact that some cities are not really suitable for winter honeymoons. Generally, hill stations are considered to be picture-perfect settings for romantic getaways! But, some hilly areas experience extreme winters where even locals find it difficult to bear the temperature.
But, we are not here to rain on your parade. Instead, let’s flip the coin and tell you about the winter honeymoon destinations in India that can save the day: -
1. Las Vegas of India – Goa
Wait, what?! How is Goa a good honeymoon destination in winter? Visualize this - the mesmeric beauty of the beaches, romantic walks under the moonlight, and candlelight dinners…
Goa experiences pleasant weather during winters, especially during December, when the feel of Christmas makes the ambience even more jolly and amazing. It is with good reason that Goa makes its way to almost all the honeymoon packages in India.
If you are planning to experience the happening nightlife, you can visit places like SinQ, Café Cabana, Ozran, Baga, and Calangute Beach in North Goa. And if you want to soak in the quiet and mesmeric beauty of the beaches with your loved one, South Goa is your place; St. Jacinto Island is a must-visit place in South Goa.
Looking for something even more secluded? Not many know that Goa offers a small island named Charao Islands situated in the periphery of River Mandovi. You can explore the mangroves as well as spot purple herons, and other such birds by kayak or dug-out canoe.
2. Soak in the Royalty at Rajasthan
‘Padharo mhare desh’ – this tagline rightly suits the royal state of India. Rajasthan is one of the best winter honeymoon destinations for newlywed couples. Personified by its historic monuments, marvellous palaces, placid lakes, and, of course, the delicious Rajasthani cuisine – this state will leave you enchanted. If you want to experience the feel of how the kings and queens of Rajasthan led their lives, you have Jaipur to transport you to that world. If serenity is your thing, a little further lies Udaipur, the perfect place for a winter honeymoon. Udaipur has earned its reputation as the ‘city of lakes’ owing to immensely popular lakes like Pichola, Fateh Sagar, Rajsamand, and Udaisagar, among others. You can’t get more romantic than being in a boat under the moonlight?!
And if even that doesn’t pique your interest, then how about a candlelight dinner in the desert? Complete your winter honeymoon in the royal state with a visit to Jaisalmer for a romantic dinner, camel safari, and obviously the sand dunes.

The South of India is a treasure trove of warm winter honeymoon destinations. The Carnatic region of India offers a number of hill stations wherein you can enjoy the wintry feels of Kashmir – minus the snow.
