Goa
Enjoy time at the beach in Goa.
Amazing beaches, beautiful temples and wonderful food can all be found in Goa, India. Goa is one of South India's most visited locations by regular tourists and honeymooners alike due to its breathtaking beaches and the local populations hospitality. There is some debate as to the best time to go to Goa. The tourist season is open from October until early March, when the monsoon season is over and the crowds swell. It is at this time you will have the most amenities open for you. However, the rainy season can mean less people and lower prices. The rains from the monsoon can wreak havoc with some of the beaches and can require caution. For this reason, most honeymooners prefer to visit during regular tourist season when the days are dry and bright. Goa is also known for its festivals, and so the honeymooners here have the choice of time on the beach together or partaking in the festivities.

Tamil Nadu
Lush green landscapes and temples are found in Tamil Nadu.
More for the temple lover than the beach tourist, Tamil Nadu often has more pilgrims than traditional tourists. That is not to say it lacks in beach resorts, however, as it has Mahabalipuram, a world heritage site famous for its sculptures and its beach. For those looking to add something spiritual to their honeymoon in South India, they would do well to begin their life together with a vacation here in Tamil Nadu. Tamil Nadu is famous for Ooty, where those who wish to celebrate their new life together are surrounded by magnificent forests and misty hills.
Practicalities
One thing very few of us want to be bothered with on our honeymoon is practicalities, but without them a dream vacation can become a nightmare. Make sure you apply for your visitor's visa in advance as you need one to enter the country and you cannot purchase one at the border. Also ensure that your travel vaccinations are up to date. As yellow fever, malaria, rabies as well as hepatitis are all health issues you should be aware of, it is important to visit your doctor well before leaving to receive recommended shots. Finally, make sure you have some basic first-aid kit products with you, particularly for a bad stomach. Many travelers are often unaccustomed to Indian food, and you really want to be prepared in advance.
