221. Kerala, India
SUBMITTED BY: Sunil
Kerala on the southwest coast of India is a unique place. This area is known for stunning, unusual scenery, backwaters, boat rides, lush foliage and Ayurvedic treatments. This place is lovely and romantic, you must see the fort kochi and surrounding areas to see the history of this place where jews, arabs, europeans all settled, this is one of the most beautiful places in India and one of the most beautiful 100 places in the world.
208. Udaipur, India
SUBMITTED BY: http://nicandrob.wordpress.com
Udaipur is a lake-side city in Rajasthan, India. In a three week touristy trip to India, Udaipur was easily the most beautiful and romantic place that I stayed, and I wished I could have stayed longer than the three days I had planned.
The city feels somehow feels small and magnificently grand at the same time. In one day you can explore tiny alleyway shops selling hand-bound notebooks, relax with hot tea and cakes in a European style cafe overlooking the lake. You can get lost in the centuries old havelis and palaces with their hidden waterfront gardens, ornate balconies and secret alcoves for secret meetings. By far the best views though are from the lake itself, getting closer to the Lake Palace (of Octopussy fame) Jagmandir Island and the distant Monsoon Palace.

I used to live here growing up and it was the most magical place. What first seems like a concrete jungle where industrialization went wrong, you learn to love the night markets and the street vendors selling hot oily foods bursting with spices. The people are friendly, and some of the buildings in the newer parts of town are beautiful!

Sometimes romance is found in more unlikely situations of course we all love long romantic dinners and sunsents… but sometimes getting out of your element and experienceing something completely foreign with a loved one is terribly romantic. Find yourself swept away in the dusty dawn of Rajasthan India where 50,000 camels greet the day together with their proud owners who have come to trade (using hand signs under a cloth for privacy). There is also a religious festival at the sacred lake and a fair complete with ferris wheels. A few days that will live in your memory forever.
186. Bay of Bengal (near Nagercoil), India

I recently returned from a trip to southern India. It was a hard trip- not very relaxing, much less romantic. However on the last day we were given the opportunity to visit a beach near a tiny, unpronounceable village on the southern tip of the country. The journey to the beach added to the romantic-ness of it- we pulled up to an ancient, beautiful cemetery that belonged to the village. From there we walked on a narrow path cut through the jungle, which eventually opened up to a pristine, empty beach. It stretched for miles, and faintly in the distance was a red and white, candy-cane striped light house. The sky was a dark gray from the coming monsoon, but its contrast with the blue-green ocean was beautiful. The water was warm and foamy, the sand was soft on our feet. The sound of the waves on the beach, like it always is, was very relaxing. It was truly the most romantic place we visited in India :)
184. The Taj Mahal, Agra, India
While the modern days tours of this structure may not be ‘romantic’ this place is magical and a true testament to love. The Taj Mahal was erected by the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his beloved wife Mumtaz Malah. The couple met at the age of 14 and it was love at first site. The wife (Mumtaz Malah) died while giving birth to Shah Jahan’s 14th child and was promised on her death bed that he would build the most magnificent monument in her memory. The result is the Taj Mahal, the couple is entombed in the mausoleum together.
