So you just got married or about to and now comes the big question — where to go for honeymoon? Everyone wants that dreamy romantic getaway, but hey, not everyone has 2-3 lakhs just lying around. But don’t worry, you can still go on an amazing honeymoon without selling a kidney .
Here’s some of the best affordable honeymoon options in India and outside too. Budget friendly but still super cute and romantic.
Cheap & Best Honeymoon Spots in India
1. Manali, Himachal Pradesh
Avg Budget: ₹15k – ₹25k (3-4 Days)
Manali is one of those places that just feels like honeymoon. Snow (in season), cafes, mountains, and nice cozy hotels. Perfect for couples who want some peace and also some adventure like paragliding and all. Just don’t forget to check if Rohtang Pass is open, sometimes its closed due to snow.
2. Udaipur, Rajasthan
Budget: ₹12k – ₹22k (2N/3D)
Udaipur feels like a royal honeymoon tbh. With all the palaces, lakes and rooftop restaurants. Super romantic vibes here. Also it’s not too crowded if you avoid holiday weekends. Some packages also include city tour and boat ride in Lake Pichola.
3. Munnar, Kerala
Budget: ₹10k – ₹18k
Very peaceful and green place. If you both like nature and quiet, this is perfct. Tea gardens, misty hills and small cute resorts make it special. Good for couples who want to do “nothing” and just chill.
4. Goa
Budget: ₹14k – ₹20k
Goa is always a mood! Beaches, bikes, cheap beer and sunset views. You can get good deals in off-season (June–Sept). South Goa is quieter and better for couples, btw.
Budget International Honeymoon Destinations
1. Bali, Indonesia
Budget: ₹45k – ₹65k (5N/6D)
Bali is super popular now and for good reason. Private villas with pools, beach clubs, temples and crazy pretty landscapes. It looks expensive but actually you can do it in budget if you plan early and book flights cheap.
2. Thailand (Krabi or Phuket)
Budget: ₹40k – ₹60k
Thailand is good for fun couples Beaches, island hopping, shopping, massages, and great food (even veg food is there dw). Also pretty easy to get visa.
3. Sri Lanka
Budget: ₹35k – ₹55k
A bit underrated but beautiful place. There’s beaches, hills, safaris, old forts and lots more. Very chill vibes and not too far from India. Plus, currency is cheaper than INR.
4. Nepal
Budget: ₹25k – ₹40k
Wanna see the Himalayas but not spend too much? Nepal is the best. Places like Pokhara and Nagarkot are super romantic and peaceful. Food is nice and you don’t even need a passport if you’re Indian.
Random Tips to Save
-
Avoid peak season – rates are double in December or summer holidays
-
Book combo packages – Flights + hotels = cheaper
-
Airbnb is a lifesaver – more privacy and cheaper than hotels sometimes
-
Look for deals – Check MMT, Goibibo, and even Instagram pages (some travel agents give discounts there)
Final Words
At the end of the day, your honeymoon doesn’t have to be at Maldives or Switzerland to be romantic. It’s about the two of you spending time together, laughing, relaxing, maybe getting lost on a beach or a hill trail. Budget honeymoon can be just as special – or sometimes even more.
So pack your bags (don’t forget the sunscreen or power bank pls ) and just gooo. Make memories, not credit card bills.
