Tips

To extend your honeymoon, add a relaxing beach stay in Goa or Kerala for an extra 2‑3 days, or explore the desert romance of Jaisalmer. If you need to shorten the trip, combine Jaipur and Agra into a single day with a fast‑track Taj Mahal visit, and fly directly from Delhi to Udaipur, skipping the Delhi final day activities.
