If you live in India, then you are sure to have a good time this Valentine’s Day. The northern part of India is replete with romantic destinations perfect for anyone looking for cheap Valentines ideas. Couples who do not live in India but have visited the country often find themselves returning there for visits. India is especially great if you are looking for a few low budget valentine ideas.
The following are some of the more romantic places to go to in India:
1. Dal Lake – found in Srinagar, Dal Lake is exceedingly peaceful and a cool breeze usually blows off it. It is so tranquil you will even be able to hear the birds singing from a distance away as you cruise along on a houseboat or Shiakara. Dal Lake also connects to other lakes that lead into Kashmir Valley. There are over 500 houseboats from the Victorian era that you can choose to stay on. During the British occupation of India, these houseboats served as vacation homes for British officials.
2. Aizawl – the capital of Mizoram, this is perhaps the most romantic destination in all of India. In recent times, Aizawl has undergone development, becoming more modern in order to cater to groups of tourists, both foreign and domestic. The city is fairly remote, however, preserving its natural and pristine beauty. This is something that draws many lovers and couples to visit the area. Churches painted all in white, forests of bamboo, and rolling hills are all to be found there.
3. Taj Mahal – situated in Uttar Pradesh, the Taj Mahal is a monument to the passion of love, and an architectural wonder. Thousands of visitors come to see its magnificence every year. The story of love that lies at the root of its origin sparks the imaginations of the many couples who visit it each year. It is one of the most popular things to do for Valentines Day.
4. Mandu/Khajuraho – the many mausoleums, pavilions, mosques and other exotic places in Mandu have made it a place for lovers. Just touring the area and seeing all there is to see may take a few days. Some places of interest include Haathi Pul, Jahaz Mahal, Rumpati Pavilion, Hindola Mahal, and various other places. The Rumpati Pavilion, especially, has a love story as part of its origin. Khajuraho, on the other hand, is known for its sandstone temples and erotic sculptures. In the light of dawn, these sculptures appear pale pink in color, but under the light of the moon, they transform to a mysterious shade of white. The view is quite spectacular indeed. In Khajuraho, you will even get the chance to see various acts of Kamasutra.
5. West Bengali Tiger Reserve – Couples looking for more adventurous Valentines Day ideas, might appreciate a trip to see the wild tiger of Bengal. The jungles of Sunderban offer the most exciting and thrilling experience, while a less intense experience can be found in the form of a ride down the river. The Crocodile Project in Bhagatapur is also a major draw for people looking for excitement. There is even a bird sanctuary to be found in Sajankhali.
Before you travel anywhere, however, it is important that you have already settled your accommodations. This way, you can rest assured that you will always have a place to sleep in wherever you go. Lodging should not be any problem at all as India has some of the best lodging establishments. If you are looking for things to do for cheap Valentines ideas, then why not take a trip to India.
