How to keep a honeymoon cheap (without it feeling cheap)
- Travel in shoulder/off-season for big discounts and fewer crowds.
- Pick one or two places — slow travel saves money and feels more romantic.
- Book a few special splurges (one nice dinner/room) rather than blowing the whole budget.
- Use honeymoon inclusions — many hotels offer free decor/cake/upgrades if you mention it.
- Book flights early and travel midweek.
Rough budgets (per couple, excl. flights)
Domestic (Kashmir/Himachal/Goa): ~₹25,000–50,000 for 4–5 days. Nearby international (Thailand/Sri Lanka/Bali): ~₹60,000–1,00,000 for 5–6 days depending on flights and season.
Tips
