No matter how much fun and exciting Indian weddings are, they can also be exhausting. After completing all the wedding rituals and seeing-off the wedding guests, all you want to do is just relax and spend some quality time with your better half. You want to escape to a place far away from the maddening city life that also gives you some Instagram-worthy pictures and lots and lots of memories. So it has to be something grand, romantic and visually stunning.
Offbeat Honeymoon Destinations You Should Explore
Here’s our pick of the five less-talked-about honeymoon destinations that will give you the best excuse to invest in a trip soon after the wedding:
