Travel has considerably evolved this year with numerous trends emerging. Secluded getaways are the order of the day right now, as travellers wish to leave the hustle-bustle of the city life behind in search of remote retreats. Even though quarantine couples have been busy with their Zoom weddings and intimate family wedding affairs, their much-awaited honeymoons got pushed back. However, honeymoon is a special time to celebrate love. With restricted international travel, we at Yatra.com have witnessed uptick in demand for domestic honeymoon destinations as destinations in India do make for an unforgettable honeymooning experience.
