Honeymoon Destination
 
Hello All,
I am Akshay, I am planning for honeymoon trip in Feb 2018. My budget is 1.5 Lakhs INR.
Can you guys please suggest me best budget honeymoon destination considering the time of visit?

Not without more information. How would we know whether you want a beach, a mountain, a city, an all-inclusive, one destination or several, how long you have, etc. etc.

If you plan to stay in India, repost on the Asia board and provide the missing information.

Few people here are going to know what a lakh is, don't make us look it up.

Hey, I am sorry for incomplete information. I would love to plan for Island kind of location. Consider all inclusive I am ready to spend 3000 USD. suggest me anything which comes in my budget plus fulfills what I am looking for

Does 3000 USD include flights?
For each Person? For two people?
One week? Two weeks? Etc.
For lodging and food or just lodging?
Would you consider a cruise?

Caribbean
New Zealand
Thailand

The little I know about all-inclusives (ugh) would suggest the Caribbean or Mexico. Or perhaps the south of Turkey. Not something I have ever done.

If you are flying from India that is not a huge budget. Have you considered Bali or one of the Thai islands? For that matter Kerala or the mountains would both be destinations within India that I would consider.

akshay18 Nov 6th, 2017 03:18 AM

@Sassafrass that amount include flight tickets and the budget for both. It will be 5-6 days trip. A bit here and there we can adjust. @thursdaysd Kerala ofcourse we are not looking for. Bali, I have gone already so I would keep that as a last option. Thai island can be a good option but still can you suggest me something else please?
By the way thanks a lot for the suggestion!

1.5 lakhs is 150000 rupees or about $2400.00 USD.

That being said you should stick close to India to keep airfare costs down. Then consider costs in your destination. That would suggest less expensive places like Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia or as suggested south India or Sri Lanka.

Places like Hong Kong or Singapore are quite high.

Our Indian niece went to Langkawi Malaysia for her honeymoon and the pics looked very nice.

Congratulations to you both!

Sorry I did not see that you had ruled out Kerala.
