AMERICAN GREATNESS
Add the magic of Caribbean and British
Islands to your big American love story
with nature’s paradise, Turks and Caicos.
From whale watching in Salt Cay or
Grand Turk, to scuba diving at the world’s
third largest barrier reef, it’s an
adventure-packed castaway. Cruise
aboard a yacht at St Lucia and sail
over the Caribbean Sea, while sipping
fine wines and watching the water
reflect the magical colours of the sky
during sunset. welgrowgroup.com

AFRICAN ADVENTURE
The Ngorongoro Crater,
the largest intact volcanic
caldera in the world,
will play witness to your
romance in Tanzania. Large
grazing animals such as the
wildebeest, buffalo, gazelle,
and zebra that depend on the
open grasslands live in the
crater, attracting predators
such as the black-maned
lion, the leopard, and hyena.
Enjoy a splendid game
viewing experience while
gorging on delicious food
in a bush lunch here. Move
on to the untamed beaches
of Unguja where luxurious
seaside resorts mark a cosy,
indoor staycation. End your
journey with a visit to the
city of Arusha that rests
beneath the twin peaks of
Mount Kilimanjaro and
Mount Meru, and is the safari
capital of Tanzania.

ALPINE PARADISE


If you believe in sticking to the classics, we suggest you travel to Switzerland.
Begin your romantic expedition in Gstaad (which Indians have a weakness for,
owing to its DDLJ history) and soak in the grandeur of the Alpine Mountains
from the Alpine Coaster in Glacier 3000. The 520° circles, 10 steep curves, six
waves, and three jumps on a kilometre stretch will quickly raise your adrenaline
level. Move on to Basel, the global destination for watches, fashion, and Michelin-
Starred restaurants. Next up will be Zurich, the artsy city where numerous events
will keep you busy. Before you head back, make a pit stop at the tiny resort town
of Zermatt to witness one of nature’s wondrous creations—the Matterhorn.


The Route


to Love


Beach or hills; adventure or detox; classic or
castaway. Deciding your honeymoon destination
can be nerve-wrecking for most brides- and
grooms-to-be. Welgrow Travels eases those
frown lines with well-planned honeymoon
itineraries. By Radhika Sikaria
