Uttarakhand Honeymoon: Nainital, Mussoorie & Auli

Dreaming of a hill-station honeymoon? Uttarakhand is a wonderfully romantic and affordable honeymoon destination — the lakes of Nainital, the colonial charm of Mussoorie, and the snow and Himalayan panoramas of Auli make it ideal for couples. Here's how to plan it.

Where to go

Nainital

Romantic boat rides on Naini Lake, cable-car sunsets and cosy lakeside stays make Nainital a honeymoon classic.

Mussoorie

The "Queen of Hills" — Mall Road strolls, Kempty Falls and misty viewpoints, an easy drive up from Dehradun.

Auli

For a snowy honeymoon, Auli offers skiing, a long ropeway and jaw-dropping views of Nanda Devi.

Kanatal & Chopta

Quieter, offbeat picks for couples who want pine forests, bonfires and privacy.
