On the beach in Gokarna or Diu
We bet you've done Goa a gazillion times, but have you been to these places which are prettier and quieter than Goa right next to it? Yes, if quiet time on a beach is what you want for that special moment, then consider Gokarna or Daman and Diu, which are not very far away. You could even travel to one of the secluded beaches on other islands and be the only ones there as you go down on your knee!

Always a welcome change from the hustle bustle of the city - go have some tea at a local estate, eat their biscuits and go for a walk and...propose! The tea gardens are super romantic and you also get your own time to bask in the happiness. Coorg, Munnar and Kodaikanal are some places to consider. Go to the Valley of Flowers This one will always always be a winner guys - so take a long look at one of the most beautiful spots India has - the Valley of Flowers in Uttarakhand. This one is quite a trek but has 300 kinds of flowers and beautiful landscapes. Trekking time is approximately 8 to 10 hours so you can hire a mule, or go by helicopter. Scuba diving in Andamans or Lakshwadeep You might have to let go of the fear or water and take training to do this, but imagine how cute it would be if you popped the question under water? The best thing is, you don't even have to say anything to each other! The ring and the sign language will do the trick! Camping in the Thar Desert Rajasthan has some beautiful places which provide the perfect setting for a proposal. While the majestic palaces in Udaipur and Jodhpur are worth considering, you can also plan to propose right in the middle of the Thar desert while you camp the night out! Sam near Jaisalmer is just a vast expanse of nothing but sand dunes. Add a tent, bonfire and a chill that's gonna make you wanna cuddle? Priceless! We heard that this place called Sujan Luxury is a great place to stay and check out. Onboard a Hot air balloon!Balloon Ride : Organised by Skywaltz in Jaipur| Photography: Dilliwale Weddings

We even had a sweet pre-wedding shoot on a hot air balloon to boot in our archives! At the highest motorable point in the world!Photographer: Design Aqua (Priyanka Kamboj)
If you both are adventure junkies, then what better place to propose than Khardung La in Ladakh? The highest motorable pass in the world, you can bike up to it and pop the question as you soak in the snow and the feeling of achieving something big! It's gonna be a story worth telling! On a house boat in AllepeyPhotography by Chris Spira
Kerala is literally God's own country, and the backwaters at Allepey in Kerala are something you both might have not seen before. You can rent a fancy houseboat, which has everything from a bedroom to a kitchen to a romantic deck... pop the question as you sail under the stars! In a Shikara on Dal Lake It's gonna have the perfect retro Bollywood feel to it as you ask him or her to marry you right in the middle of the picturesque Dal Lake in Kashmir! To say Kashmir is beautiful is an understatement, but imagine how beautiful the moment will be as you both take a step further in the setting of clear water and mountains! This pose from Jab Tak Hai Jaan sums it up best! In a tree house in Pondicherry! Imagine proposing in a tree house shack high up in the branches with a balcony that overlooks the beach? That romantic setting is very much possible in Pondicherry, which is not very far from Chennai. In the beautiful hillsPic via Neha Parmar at Jaypee Residency Mussoorie
If you don't want to travel to a terrain that's hard to get to but still want the romantic hilly setting, then you can consider McLeodganj in the North or the outskirts of Kanyakumari in the South. You can rent your own house on the hills which are surprisingly available at very cheap rates! Imagine lighting up a fire in the fireplace and cozying up before you get the ring out! As you discover the beautiful North East Right from Meghalaya to Sikkim, the North-east in India is our least discovered pretty secret! Plan a trip to one or multiple places and we bet you'll find a proposal-worthy spot that takes both your breath away at almost every corner! Or go on a road trip like Geet and Aditya over Leh to Shillong to all over.
