Honeymoon In Ooty-Kodaikanal: Secluded In The Southern Hills

Stroll around in the smoky hills and misty forests of Ooty or simply cuddle up amidst the serene ambience of the Kodaikanal Lake. There is the much-needed seclusion, a splash of luxury and an abundance of nature-a perfect way to kick-start your honeymoon.

For a quiet and secluded sojourn, Ooty is one of the best honeymoon destinations in India. It breathes of romance- from the fragrant winds blowing through the Nilgiris, the tranquil silence interrupted by the rusting trees to the enchanting hillside enveloped in swirling mists.

This 'Queen of hill stations' boasts of an exotic spread of the elaborately landscaped Botanical gardens and the Doddabetta peak, with an incredible panorama of the Nilgiri hill ranges. Wander along the wisps of clouds that drift across the path, breathe in the fresh mountain air and capture the sights and smells, as you walk through the meadows of flowers. It is tranquil enough to get lost quiet amidst nature.

A seven-hour drive from Ooty will take you to Kodaikanal, tucked away among the Palani Hills of Tamil Nadu. Glimpse the vegetation change gradually from dense Eucalyptus, to palm-fringed paddy fields and finally to plantations interspersed with stately silver oaks.

Fall in love with the virginal beauty of the Kodaikanal, where the air is intoxicating, the ambience is breathtaking, and tranquillity unmatched with any other hill station. The star-shaped Kodai Lake dominates this sleepy hill station. Paddling in boat with your partner in this pristine shimmering sheet of water, fringed with trees creates an enchanting solace that you crave for. Speckled with charming picnic spots, surrounded by nature, you can immerse yourself in its perfect isolated charm.

For a tranquil ambience, romantic seclusion and precious tender moments, the unassuming beauty of Ooty and Kodaikanal is the perfect getaway for your honeymoon.
