Ask any newly married couple in India about their honeymoon destination and more often than not the answer will be Switzerland. The place has been immortalized in our Bollywood movies as a fairy tale location with its stunning mountain ranges and lush green rolling meadows. Remember 'Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge' and the unforgettable song sequences.

The reason why couples choose a Switzerland honeymoon are many: the magnificent snow capped peaks, the beautiful never ending valley floors which are filled with colorful blooms, the lovely small villages and the opportunity to ski. Switzerland is also a shoppers paradise with its chocolates, watches and accessories like the Swiss knife being quite famous. So, its no wonder that Switzerland tops as one of the best honeymoon destinations for couples who are looking for variety.

There are numerous package tours available to Switzerland based on the number of days you have on hand and the places you would like to cover.
