When you think of a destination wedding, a few places come to mind invariably, like a resort in Goa or Kerala, a palace in Rajasthan or even a heritage hotel in the south. There is no denying the fact that all these places are excellent options for you. However, you should always keep your eyes open for some off-beat or little known places in the country for your destination wedding. Such destinations provide a new and fresh vibe to weddings in general and also are a little lighter on the pockets.
