Romantic tours

Palaces, Desert Sunsets, Tropical Beaches and Memorable Moments for Two

Watch the first light fall across the Taj Mahal, sail past the palaces of Udaipur, dine beneath the stars in the Thar Desert or drift through Kerala’s tropical backwaters. Romantic tours in India combine culture, nature and relaxation in ways that few other destinations can offer.

Within a single holiday, you can discover royal cities, ancient monuments, wildlife reserves, mountain retreats, Ayurveda and beautiful beaches. Whether the occasion is a honeymoon, anniversary or a long-awaited escape together, Travel Mart TM creates a tailor-made itinerary based on your interests, preferred pace and budget.

Remarkable Variety and Excellent Value

India is defined by its contrasts. Centuries-old forts stand above colourful cities, former royal residences have become atmospheric hotels, and peaceful natural landscapes are often only a short flight from vibrant cultural centres.

This diversity allows you to combine several completely different styles of travel without visiting multiple countries. Begin with the architecture of Rajasthan, continue to a wildlife reserve and complete the holiday beside the Arabian Sea. Alternatively, explore Kerala’s tea hills, waterways and wellness traditions at a slower pace.

India also offers an attractive balance between quality and cost. Depending on the season and selected hotel category, a carefully planned tour may include heritage accommodation, chauffeur-driven transport, knowledgeable guides and distinctive activities at a highly competitive overall price.

Value for money does not mean selecting the cheapest option. Instead, Travel Mart TM focuses on places and services that add genuine character, comfort and meaning to your time away.

Where to Enjoy a Romantic Holiday in India:

Rajasthan – Palaces, Forts and Desert Landscapes

Rajasthan creates an impressive setting for honeymoons and anniversary tours. Each city has a distinctive identity, making it possible to experience architecture, traditions and landscapes without the route feeling repetitive.

Begin in Jaipur, where ornate palaces, Amber Fort and artisan workshops introduce the region’s royal heritage. Continue to Jodhpur to explore Mehrangarh Fort and the blue-painted streets below its walls.

Farther west, Jaisalmer rises from the Thar Desert in warm shades of gold. A sunset excursion into the dunes, followed by dinner beneath the open sky, adds a memorable contrast to the historic cities.

Complete the route in Udaipur, surrounded by the Aravalli Hills and the waters of Lake Pichola. Here, a boat ride at dusk and dinner overlooking the illuminated City Palace provide an elegant finale.

Agra – The Taj Mahal at Sunrise

Built by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his wife Mumtaz Mahal, the Taj Mahal remains one of the world’s most recognisable symbols of love.

Visit in the early morning to admire the white marble in soft, changing light. Afterwards, explore Agra Fort, the gardens beside the Yamuna River and the city’s tradition of fine Mughal craftsmanship.

Agra fits naturally into a Golden Triangle tour with Delhi and Jaipur. It can also be added to a longer route through Rajasthan or central India.

Kerala – Backwaters, Tea Hills and Ayurveda

Kerala presents a calmer, more tropical side of the country. Begin among the historic streets and waterfront landmarks of Fort Kochi before travelling into the green hills of Munnar. Tea plantations, scenic walks and cooler mountain air create a peaceful change of atmosphere.

From there, continue to Kumarakom or Alappuzha for a houseboat cruise along palm-lined canals, lagoons and rural villages. Finally, unwind beside the sea near Marari, Varkala or another carefully selected beach.

Authentic Ayurveda, yoga, meditation and spa treatments can be incorporated for additional rest and well-being. This makes Kerala ideal if you wish to balance sightseeing with time to slow down.

Goa – Beaches, Heritage and Coastal Living

Goa combines the beaches of the Arabian Sea with Portuguese-influenced architecture, regional cuisine and a relaxed coastal character. South Goa is especially suitable if you prefer peaceful surroundings away from the livelier northern areas.

Spend time beside the sea, visit historic churches, explore a spice plantation or wander through the colourful lanes of Fontainhas. Sunset cruises and intimate dining can also be arranged.

As a beach extension, Goa connects particularly well with Rajasthan, Agra or Mumbai.

The Andaman Islands and Lakshadweep – Tropical Seclusion

Clear lagoons, white-sand beaches and colourful marine life make India’s island regions attractive for a secluded stay. Subject to local regulations and seasonal accessibility, days may include snorkelling, diving, kayaking or uninterrupted relaxation beside the sea.

Flight connections and entry requirements vary. Therefore, Travel Mart TM will advise which island destination best suits your dates and overall route.

Shimla and the Himalayas – A Mountain Escape

For cooler temperatures and panoramic scenery, travel into the Himalayan foothills. Shimla combines colonial-era architecture with the atmosphere of a traditional hill station. Meanwhile, Manali, Dharamshala and other mountain retreats are surrounded by forests, rivers, valleys and distant snow-covered peaks.

Depending on the time of year, activities may include scenic walks, spa treatments, countryside excursions and quiet evenings by the fire.

Ranthambore and Central India – Romance in the Wild

A safari introduces an adventurous element to your tour. Ranthambore, Satpura, Kanha and Bandhavgarh offer opportunities to explore forests, grasslands and lakes in search of tigers, leopards, deer, monkeys and diverse birdlife.

Carefully selected lodges provide comfortable accommodation in natural surroundings. Between game drives, enjoy the peaceful landscape and unhurried time together.

Add Personal Touches to Your Tour

Small details can turn a beautiful holiday into a meaningful celebration. Depending on the location and availability, we can arrange a sunset boat ride, dinner overlooking a palace, flowers in your room, a desert evening, an Ayurveda treatment for two or a symbolic renewal of vows.

A photography session, regional cooking class or guided food tour can also be included. Most importantly, the schedule will leave enough free time to enjoy each place without rushing from one sight to the next.

Honeymoons, Anniversaries and Personal Celebrations

A honeymoon in India can be adventurous, culturally enriching or deeply relaxing. Rather than choosing a standard package, select the places and activities that genuinely appeal to you.

The same approach works beautifully for milestone anniversaries, engagements, birthdays and other personal occasions. Special dinners, flowers, ceremonies and thoughtful surprises may be coordinated with selected hotels and local partners.

When Is the Best Time to Travel?

The ideal season depends on the regions included. Rajasthan, Agra, Kerala and Goa are especially popular during the cooler months, whereas the Himalayan areas offer different attractions throughout the year.

Regional monsoons influence beach and island conditions. For this reason, we plan the sequence according to the climate, accessibility and your preferred travel period.
