Honeymoon Destinations
Love In Paradise
o
Sumita Chakraborty picks five magical countries she’s visited personally as the perfect honeymoon destinations.
There really is nothing as romantic as jet-setting off to a picturesque destination with your lover, is there? I’ve picked a few scenically beautiful places I’ve been to simply because I felt they were indeed a slice of paradise and where better to go with your hubby for your honeymoon than to a heavenly picturesque land filled with adventure, beauty, historically rich or completely chilled out… Take your pick! Mauritius Indeed, imagine snorkelling alongside your better half within the cool multi-hued blue waters of Mauritius with colourful fishes nosing around you curiously or enjoying cosy candle-light dinners on the beach with the sea lapping at your feet and the tall coconut trees dancing to the rhythm of the breeze. Or if you do dig that adrenalin rush, you can go ziplining or walking through the bridge of Nepal, the longest one they say, or walking the lions or enjoying the heavenly Botanical gardens and more. Mauritius has a lot to offer and indeed it can be the perfect place to spend a romantic holiday. Seychelles I’ve never been to the Seychelles but I’ve heard a lot about it from fellow travellers so I recommend this wonderful country too as the perfect honeymoon destination only as hearsay. The Seychelles is an archipelago of 115 islands in the Indian Ocean, off East Africa. It’s home to numerous beaches, coral reefs and nature reserves, as well as rare animals such as giant Aldabra tortoises. Mahé, a hub for visiting the other islands, is home to capital Victoria. It also has the mountain rainforests of Morne Seychellois National Park and beaches, including Beau Vallon and Anse Takamaka. It’s chilled out, the vibe is peaceful yet romantic and that makes it a definite yes on the bucket list. 58
