Nepal
Nestled in the lap of the Himalayas, our wonderful neighbor country is a perfect destination for couples looking to step out of India, but not ready for a completely ‘foreign’ experience.

While in Nepal, make sure you do not miss out on temples like that of Pashupatinath, Swayambunath Stupa, Dakshinkali, Janaki Mandir, and others. The Chitwan National Park is also a great place to explore Nepal’s wilderness with your partner. You can also try out various adventure sports like paragliding (Pokhara), mountain biking (Mustang), and white water river rafting (Sun Kosi). End your days with romantic candlelight dinners and enjoy authentic Nepalese cuisine that will delight both you and your partner!

Malaysia
Malaysia is a country offering it all – from stunning beaches, and lush green landscapes, to vibrant city life. This makes it convenient for honeymooners who are looking for something ‘exotic’ while being in the comfort of the urban cityscape.
While here, you must not miss a visit to the iconic Petronas ‘Twin’ Towers in Kuala Lumpur. A visit to the wonderful Batu Caves and Thean Hou Temple is also recommended. Make sure you visit plenty of islands around Malaysia, like Langkawi, Kapas, Mabul, and Pangkor. Here you can try various activities like a sunset cruise in Langkawi, private beach dinners, helicopter rides over Kuala Lumpur, hot air balloon rides in Putrajaya, and a couples-only spa. End your day with a stroll in the vibrant markets of Malaysia and gather plenty of souvenirs (and memories).

Thailand
Thailand is no less than a dream for couples who like to spend their quality time by the beaches. You have turquoise waters, white sand beaches, and a rich cultural heritage that invites couples not only from India but all over the world. Phuket, Krabi Town, Pattaya, Bangkok, and Phi Phi Islands are some of the most popular destinations to visit in Thailand. In fact, in a survey conducted by Slingo, Krabi Town ranked third in the list of couples’ holiday destinations with the most affordable meals.
Enjoy beautiful evenings by the beach, private dinners, snorkelling, kayaking, private beach picnics, longtail boat ride on the Chaophraya River, and mesmerizing strolls in Lumpini Park. The options are endless, and we can only guarantee a memorable stay in Thailand for you and your partner.

While in Hong Kong, you can enjoy a scenic sunset/night cruise from Victoria Harbour. Spot elusive pink dolphins in their natural habitat and enjoy kiteboarding in Hong Kong’s pristine waters. If you aren’t a fan of adventure, you can take a tram ride to Victoria Peak and take in the mesmerizing views from the Sky Terrace 428. If you’re just in time in October, you can also attend the famous Hong Kong Wine & Dine Festival perfect for savoring delectable dishes and enjoying live entertainment. In short, Hong Kong is all yours to explore!
