Starting a new chapter together deserves more than an ordinary holiday. India offers one of the most varied honeymoon landscapes in the world – royal Rajasthan palaces, the quiet backwaters of Kerala, golden Goan coastline, and the calm of the Himalayas – so the right destination really depends on the kind of couple you are.
Every Imperial India Escapes honeymoon is privately crafted around your dates, pace, and taste, rather than pulled from a fixed package. Below are the four honeymoon regions we’re asked about most, with real trip lengths and indicative pricing so you can start planning with a realistic budget in mind.

Based on two people travelling together. All itineraries are tailor-made – length and accommodation grade can be adjusted, which will change the price.
Kerala – Backwaters and Quiet Nature
Kerala suits couples who want to slow down rather than sightsee constantly. A private houseboat cruise through the backwaters, mornings among spice plantations, and evenings with nothing on the agenda make it one of the most restful honeymoon regions in India.
Our Kerala honeymoon itinerary runs 11 nights from £2,420 and can be paired with a few days in South India if you’d like more variety.
Delhi & Goa – Heritage and Coastline Together
For couples who want culture first and relaxation second, combining Delhi’s history with Goa’s beaches gives you both in one trip. Explore Mughal-era monuments and Delhi’s food scene, then finish on the coast with boutique beachfront stays and quiet evening dinners by the water.
Our Delhi & Goa tour runs 6 nights from £3,446 and is easily extended if you want more time on the coast.
Royal Rajasthan – Palaces and Heritage Romance
Rajasthan is the classic choice for couples drawn to grandeur – fort cities, palace hotels, and centuries of royal history. It’s a longer region to explore properly, so we typically recommend more time here, though the itinerary can be shortened to fit your schedule.
Our Royal Rajasthan tour runs 17 nights from £3,916 as a full exploration, or can be trimmed to a shorter palace-focused route – tell us your dates and we’ll rework it.
Himalayan Adventure & Spirituality – Mountains and Stillness
If beaches and palaces aren’t your style, the Himalayas offer something quieter: mountain air, ancient monasteries, and valleys with genuinely few other travellers. It suits couples who’d rather hike a ridge line together than lie on a sunbed.
Our Himalayan Adventure & Spirituality tour runs 9 nights from £2,160.
Which Honeymoon Style Suits You?
- Want total relaxation? Kerala’s backwaters are hard to beat.
- Want culture and a beach finish? Delhi & Goa combines both.
- Want to feel like royalty? Rajasthan’s palace hotels are built for it.
- Want peace and mountain air? The Himalayas offer genuine quiet.
Most couples combine two of these rather than choosing just one – a common pairing is Rajasthan’s palaces followed by a few days unwinding in Kerala or Goa. Since every itinerary is built from scratch, there’s no fixed “package” to choose between – tell us what you’re drawn to and we’ll build the route.
