They include beautifully furnished bedrooms, living quarters, a balcony where you can sample the pleasures of angling with your partner and a small kitchen and toilet. How much more romantic can you get? There are also many good hotels and resorts but we strongly recommend a serene stay at a houseboat for newlyweds. The best times to visit would be from March to September however if rain is romance to you, please visit during the Monsoons and watch the heavy rains creating a magical curtain around you and filling your heart with its pitter patter. Alppuzah is easy to reach by train. Come, explore how beautiful romance can be.
