Meeting new people, exploring the unexplored places, and learning about different cultures are some of the things that traveling helps me to experience. It also soothes my mind. But since I am a banker by profession now, I rarely get time to head out, unlike my college days when traveling from one city to another was all I used to do with my friends. But like they say, getting married changes everything, mine did too. It took me back to the golden days when ‘travel’ was my first love (Though, it’s second now).
So, I was looking for the best honeymoon destinations in India, where my wife & I could spend quality time together and also escape the heat at the same time. It was then I came across TravelTriangle’s website on the internet and I installed the app right away. Since picking a hill station was already on my mind, all I had to do was select my holiday mood on the app and choose from the suggested destinations. After a good amount of browsing, we decided to plan our honeymoon trip to Himachal as the location seemed perfect to us and the packages quite pocket-friendly. Post the booking and payment, we were all set to drive to the hills and we couldn’t wait for our romantic journey to start!
