When it comes to honeymoons, the typical setting is a beach side resort or a cozy getaway. You can celebrate your love in the Himalayas which present snowcapped peaks, whispering winds, and peaceful mountain lodges.
For the couple that seeks more than just luxury out of their honeymoon, that wants in into the mix a dose of romance and adventure a trek in the Himalayas is a choice you won’t regret.
The Himalayan Appeal to Honeymooners
The Himalayas are what you go to if you seek out adventure and challenge. But they also are a haven for a certain kind of peace which is almost magical.
The crisp mountain air, the still trails, and the stunning break of dawn which takes your breath away creates a very private world that feels like a fairy tale.
Couples can walk hand in hand through rhododendron forests, have private candlelight dinners in cozy lodges, and spend time at peaceful lakes. It is a kind of romance which you do not find in the bustle of the city or in luxury resorts.
The Himalayan setting is a romance from the golden dawn over Mt. Everest to the stillness of evening in mountain villages. Each step of the trek gives couples time to connect, reflect and create memories in the company of natural beauty.
Luxury in the Lap of Mountains
Today’s honeymoons on the trail are a far cry from past perceptions of basic tea houses and rough sleeping.
Modern luxury has come to the Himalayan trekking routes which at the same time preserve the adventure element for you as a couple.
Imagine waking up in a cozy room which also has those amazing mountain views, you are sipping hot coffee together as the sun slowly sets on the snow tops.
In regions such as the Annapurna and Everest Base Camp Luxury Trek are at your service that feature heated beds, private bathrooms, gourmet dining options, and spa services.
These lodges cater to the traveler which is after an adventure but still seeks comfort.
After a hard day of trekking couples may retreat to the spa for a massage, take a long hot shower, or go out for a romantic dinner by the star lit sky.
Helicopters also play a luxury role in a couple’s first trip to the Himalaya. We offer a flight to the base camp of Mt. Everest, which includes time to see the beautiful scenery and then back at the hotel for the evening.
Romantic Experiences to Share
In each of the Himalaya’s treks you get a different flavor of romance. In the Everest area couples may visit the Sherpa villages at Namche Bazaar, enjoy baked goods with mountain views, and go to monasteries together.
At the Everest View Hotel we have very romantic settings which include breakfast that looks out directly to Mount Everest.
In the Annapurna region, there is a very green, colorful landscape that is best seen during springtime.
For couples that are looking to go trekking the route to Annapurna Base Camp is a must do or if it’s a short break you are after do one of the luxury treks in the areas around Ghandruk or Dhampus which also feature incredible sunsets over Machhapuchhre (Fishtail Mountain).
These places are perfect for honeymooners that desire a vacation of natural beauty, cultural experience and tranquil atmosphere.
Planning Your Himalayan Honeymoon
Planning a honeymoon in the Himalayas is a simple thing to do with the right help. In Nepal many trekking companies present luxury honeymoon trek packages which include private guides, helicopter access, luxury lodges, and very personal itineraries.
These treks may be made to measure for your fitness level, time frame and what you are in the mood for.
The best times for a Himalayan honeymoon are in the spring (March to May) and the fall (September to November) which see the best weather and the mountains at their most beautiful.
For a short easy trek or a multi-day adventure it is up to you which you choose but the experience will be very romantic and refreshing.
