India is filled with romantic landscapes, awe-inspiring natural beauty and grand monuments dedicated to love.
May it be the majestic Himalayas in the north or the stark yet colorful desert in the west or the dreamy lagoons in the south or the serene hill states of the east, or the jeweled islands at the tip, every place has its own romantic charm and legends to tell.
Taj Mahal --Agra
This of course has to be the most romantic destination of India, described by some as an everlasting monument to love; Taj Mahal was envisioned and created by Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his late wife Mumtaz.
Taj Mahal is a favored place for romanticists who keep on gazing at the Taj for hours, mesmerized by its opulent beauty. The sight of the Taj Mahl, drenched in moonlight is sure to melt the heart of the most die-hard cynic. A study in elegance, Taj Mahal is made of white marble studded with semi precious stones and is exquisitely carved, all over this amazingly beautiful monument, you can see intricate designs that have been delicately carved in the marble. Taj Mahal is surrounded on all sides by four graceful minarets.
Cities of Rajasthan
There is no other place like Rajasthan, colourful, vibrant, incredibly romantic & simply irresistible. Situated in northwest India and accompanied by Thar Desert and the Aravali mountain range. Rajasthan is a magical state that is called Land of the Kings, built on the Rajput codes of conduct and dominated by grand forts and palaces with scores of fairs and festivals.
