An Offbeat Honeymoon

Romance needn’t always be about roses, candlelight, chocolates or wine...

- Nithasha Sreerag

I recently ran into one of my friends, Anjana, whose eyes were alight with the prospect of getting married in two months’ time. Her wedding preps were going full on, which was obvious from her arms laden with big shopping bags, and she had that glow that every bride-to-be seems to have (or maybe it was the sheer madness of planning a wedding - who can tell!). Over a cup of coffee, she said that she needed my help to plan a unique, special honeymoon.

Working as a content editor at Wandertrails, an online experiential travel portal, had actually put me in a very good position to promptly dish out some options. I named some of the popular places, but then I thought - haven’t gardens, misty mountains, candlelight and wine become the customary honeymoon ambience nowadays?

So I gave her some out-of-thebox options. Knowing her to be a shopaholic, culinary expert, adventure enthusiast, and a nature lover, I didn’t have any difficulty in listing out some unique choices for her. If you’re searching for an unconventional honeymoon destination too, you should definitely check out these options.
