Hi everyone...
Most of my mylot friends know that i have got married on last 24th and now i am encountering a question everywhere... where you are going to honeymoon? when? how? abroad? 
Hmmm... is it really important to have a honeymoon tour after wedding? why? Well, i do think that i should go not considering the importance rather to have a refreshment. But how? i am a government employee and cant get a long leave as i were in leave for 15 days for wedding. So, though i thought to go abroad, but at last i have cancelled it and now thinking to have the tour in India.
My first preference to go to a place where there is a bird sanctuary as bird viewing/identifying is my hobby. So, do you think that a bird sanctuary should be a place to be considered as honeymoon place? What type of place you selected on your honeymoon? or you will select?
Indian friends, please tell me some good bird sanctuaries to visit across India... Bharatpur, Sultanpur, Salim Ali (Goa)? which one?
Please share.

hi shiby,
As far as I know honeymoon begins after the ceremony
Well I want to have my honeymoon at Amanpulo, BoraBora or Maldives it's a great place to stay for a couple.
Actually it doesn't matter which place you both are what matter is you are both together, love each other and become ONE.
A bird sanctuary is not bad idea at all but at least ask your wife is she can appreciate the place.
happy mylotting

Hi Shibham,
Honeymoon is to spend some memorable and lovely time with each other. As you both will be busy in routine life with additional responsibilities especially for a girl in adjusting to new home/ entirely a different atmosphere etc and considering the fact that in olden days it used to be huge joint families, the couples get little time to develop a better understanding. The times have changed so our outlook. Travel/ tourism are making it a lucrative business.
Now where to go, though I had my first honeymoon after my first baby (i.e. after 3 years of marriage) and I still am not an expert to understand my husband (will celebrate 17th w/anniversary next month). 
Well, for a refreshment and pleasure trip try Goa and enjoy the beaches for a while and be with your bride and not bird…..
Thought You would make it to MP or Odisha 
Best wishes...
ps: hope you already visited Kamakya Mandir and areas within your reach. Convey my hellos and best wishes to your wife....

Hi viju...
You are right. I am highly busy with my schedule and have less time to spend with my wife. I thought i shall go to honeymoon on this puja vacation but there is a marriage of my cousin on tomorrow and on her mom's place, the puja is celebrated with grand rejoice.
It was not a honeymoon to you (after 3 years ) dont mind, kidding. It really takes a huge time to understand fully each other.
Goa is fine but i have less time to have a long tour. I think MP and Odisha is fine. ANYWAY, HOW FAR THE FAMOUS "KAUNDINYA BIRD SANCTUARY" OF CHITTOR FROM YOUR PLACE?
yes, i have already visited Kamakhya and better to say i am an atheist and dont wish to visit all those places where animals are sacrificed on the name of god.
have a nice time.

Hi Shibham,
I mean to say i can never understand my hubby even after so many years...
Ok, I think Kaundinya is in South - Andhra Pradesh and Chittor is it Chittogarh of Rajasthan. However, have a look at the link which talks all about National Parks of MP & links to other states info too. http://www.indiawildliferesorts.com/national-park-in-madhya-pradesh.html
I wish you both a very happy Puja, Dusherra & Vijaydashmi too. OH, one of my friends landed in Guwahati (due to transfer of her hubby) and she's celebrating the pujas in your state. Have a grt time.
ps: atheist - did u see the hindi movie OMG? If not, strongly recommend you to watch the same....

Congrats! I am not sure about a trip somewhere.. But I do think it is important to spend some quality time with your wife privately... I think the concept of a honey moon is to get away so the newlyweds can freely explore each other without friends or family distrubing. Bird sanctuaries and or bird viewing sounds so romantic... Where ever the two of you may go I hope you enjoy your speical time together.. I hope you too have a great live together;-)

Yes I would agree.. Sharing nature with your wife is probly the most romatic thing a person could do in my book.. Watching the natural way of life is usually so peaceful and there is no outside distrations to disrupt the special time that the two of you are sharing..

romantic isn`t always a expensive and popular place..
sometimes i always confused why when talking about the best honeymoon, they always choose Paris and Rome maybe
i think it depends on both the couple
iam not indian
but i know that india have many beautiful place
so maybe it`s time for you to explore any beautiful places in your country

Honeymoon should be romantic.
So consider a romantic place and bird sanctuary maybe a good one- but not an ideal for honeymooners.
I suggest you try Paris, Italy

Hi didi...
Hmmm.. not an ideal one but i think my wife should take the decision. Right, i thought like you at first but later i began to rethink and that is why i have posted here for all of your suggestions.
Nice definition on differences.
have a nice time.

of course, there's a big difference.
1) The expenses is much higher going to Paris compared to spending it at home.
2) It's more romantic and relaxing when it's just the two of you (you and your partner) in a far away place, no one will disturb so keep your mobile phone off for emergency calls from work or office (lols)

shib, honey moon trip gives more enjoyment to the newly married couples, it will help to start understanding about our partners, while in honey moon trip the couples are alone without other persons and have more privacy and time to talk with each other. Good to know that you planned to go for a bird sanctuary for your honey moon, really it is an unique idea

Really we missed our honey moon chance, as we don't have the ability to go honey moon after our marriage, my wife got conceived soon within 3 months of our marriage and doctors advised us to avoid long trip, so we postponed it. After giving birth to our first son, she is very much busy with the kid and don't have time for honey moon.

Dear Shivam,
Congratulations!
I didn't go rather couldn't go for honeymoon. But I feel you should choose a serene place close to your hometown. Then your journey time, expenses and physical stress will be less. So, you will get more time to enjoy, understand and rest at peace.
If you are not a naturalist, birds will not make you happy beyond 1/2 days, but a comfortable stay will be more lucrative and safe too.
Of course, before putting the question here, you had to ask your wife. Because where she will be happy, you will get happiness. So, I suggest put the ball on her court. And let her choose the place, make her happy. It is a great secret of long happy married life. You must know the old proverb -- well begun is half done...

Hi Prasanta..
Thanks.
You are right. There are some places near to my hometown (300kms) but rarely i visit. Like to mention for greater interest that the Asia's oldest indoor stadium is situated here. Apart from it world's largest river-island, National park kaziranga and many more.
I am an animal activist and non professional wildlife photographer. So i would enjoy.
You are right again so the first preference will go to my wife. Sure.
Have a nice time.

A honeymoon is meant to be a time that you get to know one another and forge the bonds of commitment without any outside influence. You can do this by going away for a weekend, just the two of you, and turn off your phones and stay away from the computer, etc. Concentrate on each other and talk and laugh together. You don't have to spend a lot of money or time. You'll both fondly remember those days in the years to come. I hope you get to spend a couple of days together relaxing and getting to know each other, it's a good way to start a marriage.

Hi dragon...
Thanks for your kind support. As you know, i am busy with lots of stuff, hence i get a few time to be attached with her. So, i think a refreshment and attachment is essential too though we have understood each other much better.
Have a nice time.

hello,
in my opinion honeymoon is very very important for a newly wedded couple. it is the perfect scenario to bond with your life partner. it gives you two a total individual time alone from everyone else and a romantic tour with your partner is always good and refreshing. i think its highly necessary. everyone should go for it. you can go to any place. but i would like to go to some quiet habitat close to nature. thats the way i like it. somewhere quiet with my wife would my best place for a honeymoon. all the best and congrats for your new life.

You are right Akash. It is the perfect moment/scenario to bond with each other. I am associated with nature and a animal activist plus wildlife photographer (not professional lol but due to my hobby). So, i do wish to utilize my honeymoon tour on this aspect too. Hope you have understood.
have a nice time.

My husband and I did go on a trip to Miami, Florida just after we were married. The reason that we went was because it was the first opportunity that we ever had to take a trip with the two of us (we already had a 19 month old daughter). It was our time to spend time together and it was also our wedding gift from his parents.
However, I don't think that it is necessary for a newlywed couple to take a honeymoon. I actually feel like this is a tradition that should be skipped if it is not something that is financially feasible for the couple.

Hi dorannmwin
Oh Miami, if i could go there. This place always attracts me but alas impossible.
So you have enjoyed it a lot but well said, that now a days it seems traditional or a part of fashion though it is expensive.
But here the happiness of wife is also connected so need to accept that tradition as well. have a nice time.

shibham congrats on your wedding^^ i understand that you like birds very much but i think that a place for the honeymoon should be a place that your wife wants to see. make her the main thing to you in your honeymoon^^ birds you can watch next year on a trip with her. but honeymoon is special. ask your wife what is her dream place to go. and then make her stay as happy as possible while you are there^^ show her that you care for her ^^

Thanks sweet....
Yes, it is my choice and i think should ask her preference as it is the vital enjoyment to both of us. Well said that i can visit such a sanctuary next year but if she agrees with me then, i think we can proceed. Right?
You know, i love her very much and care a lot. Have a nice time.
Have a nice time.

Deverji lots of good places in India and your thinking is good you can go any good places in India like Ooty, Goa I not remember more places because I not go on my honeymoon. My husband not like to travel so I miss this chance. They feel our 6 rooms means all places of India. I request two to three times but they not ready and family members not tell him anything so not go. I think honeymoon is good for refreshment because if once busy in work then no chance of going such places and this is the big chance to spend some memorable moment with the partners. Not necessary but for happiness this is good.

Love is the indespinsible need in the marrriage, not honey moon. Actually honeymoon is the first night of the couple where they first time live together. So, obviously it is romantic. So, be filled with love for your spouse in that day. Nowadays...it has been the tradition to elongate honeymoon to a period of week or month or even more. This may create more affection and understanding between couple. But such things have been proved to be failed to stop divorces so most important thing in marriage is ... one and only Love.

Hi suman...
I dont know who's concept is wrong or right? but here, our conception regarding honeymoon is defer from your thought. For us, honeymoon is the first outdoor tour for a newly married couple regardless is that first night or not?
I am agree with you that honeymoon seems like a tradition but it seems like a refreshment as i have mentioned earlier and for sure it can create graet affection and understanding between couple.
have a nice time.

Maybe you could ask your bride where she wants to go, or what she wants to do. Who knows you will have a similar activity that you like to do. Honeymoon travel is ideal, but, if you're time constrained, like in your case, it would be hard to do.
Congratulations again!

Hi, Shibham! Congratulations!
I think having a honeymoon is the greatest treat you can give to yourself and your wife after a long preparation for your wedding and also a great way to experience the first days of being husband and wife. If you think that bringing her in a bird sanctuary will be relaxing, then your wife should be happy to suport you with your hobby as well. But you can also ask her if she has any particular place in mind.

Thanks Jenny...
You are right, i need to ask about her desired place. But i think she would not mind my place but it is true that i should ask for her preference too. "First day of being husband and wife" is something differ here from your thought.
have a nice time.

Love is the most important thing in marriage life... honeymoon??? Honeymoon is the name given to the night in which newly married couple stay together for the first time. So, obviously it is romantic. Nowadays it has been the tradition to elongate the honeymoon period to week or month or even more. It is supposed that it will increase affection and understanding between the spouse. But evidence shows that it has been proved unsuccessful to prevent divorces. so, dont waste your precious money in roaming...but do which you prefer. May you be guided with your love. You can ask your future wife in this matter also.
