5 Offbeat Destinations To Go On Honeymoon

Don’t expect honeymooners to be sitting predictably under a beach umbrella sipping together out of a tender coconut shell. They are more likely to be jumping down a sinkhole or watching the Northern Lights from an igloo. “Indian honeymooners are increasingly opting for offbeat destinations, breaking the traditional mould. Newly-weds are looking to curate special experiences by customising their holidays,” shares Daniel D'Souza, President and Country Head Leisure at SOTC Travel. With multiple couples looking for adventure-based activities and using their honeymoon for well-earned rest and relaxation, engaging in local experiences has become an important aspect.

* Sapa, Vietnam

Terraced fields and the forest-like Hoang Lien Son Mountains surround this ethnically diverse town, putting you in the middle of the culture sans the city bustle.

* Quebec, Canada

Feel like you flew to Europe (in less time, for less money) in this French-speaking region known for its powder-packed trails.

* Carefree, Arizona

The name just about says it all: You won't have a care in the world (except maybe your golf score) at this super-secluded spot in the Sonoran Desert.

* Woodstock, Vermont

This isn't your parents' Woodstock (that actually didn't even take place in Woodstock...or Vermont!). Think more along the lines of a quaint inn, top-rated ski resorts and delicious cuisine.

* Islamorada, Florida

You get the feel of the Caribbean without leaving the States, including pale-blue water that teeters at 70 degrees in cooler months and around 80 degrees in summer.
