Chikmagalur

How about waking up to freshly-brewed coffee from the estate and breakfast in bed with bae by your side? Can we paint a more content picture? We think not. Book a room with one of the many luxury resorts Chikmagalur has to offer and indulge in a swim, some good food and plenty of coffee. If you feel outdoorsy, you could trek to peaks like Mullayangiri, Baba Budangiri or explore Abbey Falls.

Hampi

If your loved one is into culture, there is no better place to be. Book a cottage on Hippie Island and plan a trip to the Stone Temple during the day.
