My husband and I are yet to go on our honeymoon and would really like to go to Himachal Pradesh. The destinations in Himachal Pradesh we want to go to are Shimla, Kullu and Manali and we are looking for a honeymoon package which includes these destinations. We have no issues with the transport if it is included it's fine if it isn't then we can make our own way.
Hello, @Sindu, welcome to the forum! (Images from Rohit Chhiber, Ashish Gupta and Rajarshi Mitra) Overview Himachal Pradesh is a sought-after tourist destination in India, especially for the honeymoon couples. The stunning views of the distant snow-capped mountains, the unending greenery in the surroundings and the pleasant climates in the hill stations of the region make it a serene and tranquil getaway for the newlyweds.
