I have always believed that most couple would like to spend their honeymoon time in peace and tranquility where they can spend more time together and enjoy the space that they share that will deepen their bond together for the rest of their life. However, time has changed and couples today think differently when it comes to their honeymoon trips. Couples today sure want to spend some time together, but they also like to actively participate in fun activities and adventure sports that can make their honeymoon trip exciting and unforgettable. Taking that trend into consideration many tour companies have come up with better options at various places that newlyweds can explore. Many couples today prefer to take off for some adventure honeymoon experience where they can get some adrenaline rush as well as some private space. Let’s take a quick look at the top 5 adventure honeymoon destinations and places in India that offer the right kind of mixed experience.

Goa

Most couples know about Goa beaches and the kind of peace that they offer to honeymooners and newlyweds but there is so much more that Goa has to offer. It is the right place for those who want to make the best use of the time that they have to enjoy honeymoon and some adventure activities. Couples that have a keen interest for nature can explore the sanctuaries here in Goa where they can watch birds in their natural habitat. Goa is a great destination for bird lovers that get to see different birds like eagles, kites, pigeons, doves, kingfishers and many other species. If you like to watch crocodile in the wild you can head to Cumbarjua canal just 20 minutes from Panaji and here you will get to see some freshwater crocodiles.

There are many boat tours that you can book to give yourself that adventurous experience. Parasailing is another adventure that you can look out for when you are in Goa where you and your partner will be hooked on to the parachute which is pulled through a rope that is connected to a speed boat. Backwater cruising is usually associated with Kerala, but Goa also offers plenty of backwaters that are yet to be discovered. Couples can book a wooden house boat and enjoy boating through dense hinterland of Goa’s jungles and forests.

Snorkeling is also quite popular in Goa although most people believe that Lakshadweep Islands is the only location where you can enjoy snorkeling and scuba diving. You can enjoy snorkeling and diving at Bat Island and Navy Island from November to May.

Manali

I guess I don’t have to say more to introduce and share more information about Manali as it is highly popular honeymoon destination not only in India, but also around the world. You can find many hotels here in Manali and while Manali looks like a quiet hill station away from the noise and dust of Indian cities it still manages to trigger your adrenaline. River rafting is popular in Manali especially in Pirdi which is 45 kilometers from Manali where you can explore water rafting on the River Beas. The rafting journey takes around 90 minutes so you get enough time to push your body to the limits. If you like to fly like an eagle soaring high in the sky Manali has to offer paragliding activities that is available in Solang Nallah and Marhi.

You can find both short flying and high flying paragliding here in Manali. If you like to take on some of the high mountains put on your jacket, sunglasses, and trekking shoes as Manali offers you many places where you can go trekking with your life partner. You can also take your camera with you to capture some unforgettable picture that you can add to your honeymoon album. You can also enjoy some camping here high in the mountains and make most of jeep safaris that are offered here. During winter months, Manali can also offer you the pleasure of skiing for beginners as well as for advance skiers.

Jaisalmer

If you don’t like to wander in cold places, take a look on the north-west side of India and you will find Jaisalmer. Well, don’t let this place fool you since you will only find some deserted place that offer harsh hot climate. However, Jaisalmer is the place for many young couples that like adventure and want to do much more than spending time together away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Jaisalmer lies within the great Thar Desert so if you love camels, I would recommend some Camel Safari here that is absolutely thrilling experience. You can click some great shots sitting on high on camel’s hump, although the ride will be bit shaky.

Jaisalmer is also popular for hot air ballooning so you can try this out here along with paragliding activities. You can watch the sand dunes changing shapes and reconstructing themselves at the command of the wind. You can also enjoy dirt biking and jeep safaris here that allow you to challenge the hot sand of the Thar Desert. When you are done for the day you can also enjoy some traditional song and dance happening at some of the places in Jaisalmer that will make you feel like a royal couple. You can also explore some of the forts here along with The Desert National Park that offers you the right wildlife experience.

Shillong

Capital of Meghalaya, Shillong has so much to offer to the newlyweds and honeymooners that love to get away from the crowd, but do not want to spend their honeymoon trip roaming around in places that offer no excitement and activities. Nestled on the East Khasi hills of Meghalaya Shillong has the best landscapes and sceneries that you can find in India so make sure you always take your camera with you.

While there are many forests, hills, waterfalls, lakes and beautiful rustic cottages that you can explore here. Shillong also offers wide range of activities like scuba diving, mountain biking and trekking. I believe Shillong is among the best places in India for trekkers that love to take forested paths and explore the untouched natural beauty in all its glory. Couples can also look out for camping and river rafting that can offer the right kind of thrilling experience that you cannot find anywhere else.

Munnar

Kerala has remained one of the most popular and best honeymoon destinations in India and Munnar certainly gains the top spot in the state for attracting honeymooners and couples from all over India and from around the world. While Munnar is a green silent honeymoon spot that offer the right kind of privacy that couples need but it also offers wide range of activities that can pump your blood within.

Munnar offers the adventure of trekking where you can climb some of the hills here exploring the local fauna and flora and the experience that you can only get here. You can push your body to the limits with some rock climbing and jungle camping where you get to see wildlife in a natural environment. You can also enjoy some hot air ballooning here and river crossing on a rope bridge that looks easy but can offer you the right thrills that you have never experienced before. If you just want to relax you can take a walk through tea gardens and that experience is out of the world.
