The 20 Most Romantic Proposal Destinations In India

When my brother-in-law proposed to my sister, it was fairly romantic – an upscale restaurant, a candlelit dinner and beautiful ambiance. She loved it and, of course, him and immediately said yes. Another friend of mine told me that her husband took her to a boutique hotel in Goa and proposed to her on the beach, in true romance novel fashion.

In fact, of late, I’ve noticed this trend among young couples when it comes to proposals. It is no longer simply a matter of parents meeting and deciding. Couples in love want the ultimate memories when it comes to proposals and these memories include the perfect destination and setting.

Keeping this in mind, we at ShoutLo decided to look at 20 destinations in India that make for the ultimate setting for a romantic proposal. Read on and enjoy!
