Just in time for valentines

There are countless ways to spend Valentine’s Day together as a couple but nothing comes close to taking a trip together. It's rightly said that sharing experiences together brings couples closer. So, go on - pamper your loved one with a micro-break in this month of love.

1) Te Aroha, Dhanachuli, Uttarakhand

Aptly called ‘a place of love’, this boutique resort is designed to recreate the magic of the olden times. This place is blessed with pleasant weather, breathtaking views of the Himalayas, lush forest and enchanting apple orchards. Everything from its colonial-style architecture to the glorious collection of antiques reflects a personal touch.

2) Svasara Jungle Lodge, Tadoba-Andhari Tiger Reserve, Maharashtra

Svasara at Tadoba is the first jungle lodge in the luxury chain. Their rooms are air-conditioned and luxuriously appointed to help you come back from an exciting but hot jungle safari to a cool, rejuvenating oasis. They serve delectable and diverse cuisines made using the freshest ingredients from our own small organic farm or local farms. Can't think of a better place to relax post dinner than on a charpoy at this quaint safari lodge gazing at the stars on a clear night.

3) The Kumaon, Almora, Uttarakhand

The Kumaon offers a private mountain retreat situated in the heart of nature. Stunning vistas of the mountains, impeccable service, and classic Pahadi hospitality. A cantilevered dining area with a floor to ceiling glass view of the glorious snow clad Himalaya peaks. Rotating walls of glass maximize the view onto the forest.

4) Orchard Tents, Pushkar, Rajasthan

Orchard Tent is the first luxury tented resort in Pushkar. This resort is amidst orchards of Amla and roses. This helps to bestow the air with purity, creating a fresh and relaxing ambience at this place. Their bedroom area is adorned with a large queen-size bed coupled with unique marble lamps lit to suit your mood – bright or romantic. Dinners here are served al fresco around a bonfire and usually accompanied by some form of entertainment.

5) Tall Trees Resort, Manali, Himachal Pradesh

This one’s truly a beautiful abode in the mountains of Himachal. A river by your side, fresh mountain air and the green lush forest is what this riverside resort is all about. The rooms have been given a cottage feel with wooden floors and ceilings. And, you have your own private patios and balconies to take in the leafy surroundings. After sunset, spend time with your loved ones under the sky full of stars, sitting next to a bonfire and a live barbecue. They promise to give swish comforts mingled with nature’s love.

Which cozy retreat is your pick for you and your beloved?
