A romantic trip to the verdant hills of Ooty is an ideal start for honeymooners. Take a leisure stroll in the Botanical Garden, which is home to numerous exotic species, including the famous fossil tree. Visit the Ooty Lake and enjoy a boat ride with your better half. Later, take a ride in the heritage Nilgiri Mountain Railway, which meanders through the picturesque hills and valleys.
Kodaikanal, famously known as the 'Princess of Hill Stations', is an excellent destination for honeymooners. Begin your day exploring the Bryant Park and admire the 325 varieties of cacti and 740 species of roses housed here. Take a short trek to the Pillar Rocks, towering at over 400ft, and have a mesmerizing view of the surrounding hillsides. Lastly, enjoy boating in the star-shaped Kodaikanal Lake and take in the stunning sunset from here.
Yercaud, nestled in the Shevaroy Hills, boasts of scenic hills, sprawling coffee plantations, and a stunning lake. From the Pagoda Point outlook, admire the lush Greenwood and Shevaroy Hills. Visit the Killiyur Falls, where the water cascades down from a height of 300ft. Finally, engage in a spice plantation tour and feast on fresh fruits while understanding their growth and significance.
If you have more days to spend, you can explore more natural beauties of Tamilnadu, including Kanyakumari, Hogenakkal Falls, and Mudumalai Wildlife Sanctuary. For couples who want to spend more time in peace and tranquility, reducing a day in Kodaikanal and Yercaud and instead going to Conoor could offer a more relaxed experience. Do not forget to wear comfortable shoes/ boots for trekking and carry woolens, as the weather can be unpredictable.
