Famous hiking trails like Meesapulimala near Munnar and Dhoni Waterfalls in Palakkad are good choices for a foray into the world of birds and trees.

Sunrise and sunset require special mentions in every couple’s honeymoon itinerary. The magic of experiencing these unique phenomena of nature is bound to build a special connection between you and your spouse. Wake up early in the morning and scale the peak nearest to your honeymoon spot. If you are in Kerala for your honeymoon, set a day aside to catch the sunrise together.
Walking into the sunset together is the very premise behind having a beach honeymoon. With a stretch of around 580 km of coastline and an equally expansive forest area, Kerala is one of the best honeymoon destinations you could ask for. Sunrise and sunset points are dotted across the state and easy to reach.
4. Candle-lit Dinner At A Treetop

It is a classic and needs no explanation. However, it is possible to add a twist to this romantic tradition and make it better. Set up a candle-lit dinner on a treetop. Choose a treehouse when you are in the hilly regions of Kerala. Treehouses in places like Wayanad, Munnar, and Thekkady come with perks like luxury and privacy. With minimal effort, you can spice up your regular candle-lit dinner and turn it into a unique experience.
5. Find Your Cozy Spot At A Beach

A picnic at the beach is yet another effortless romantic experience that you can have on your honeymoon. It may also be cheaper and more personal than dining at a fancy restaurant. Since your honeymoon is all about spending time and having fun with your spouse, include things you both love in the basket. You can also go all out and arrange a posh picnic as a surprise to your partner, depending on where you book your stay.
6. Sail Away On A Private Houseboat

Honeymoon comes on the heels of the loud and tiring wedding events. Especially in India, we don’t go easy on the festivities. So it’s only natural that you might want a day or two to relax and re-energize. After all, is there anything more romantic than staying in bed to watch a good old movie? If that’s what you are looking for, make sure you rent a luxury villa with all the amenities to comfort you.

These are some of the things you can do to find each other again after the long and exhausting wedding events. Whatever you choose to do on your honeymoon, be it breakfast in bed or a soothing stroll by the beach, revel in each other’s company. Make memories that you’ll cherish for a lifetime.
