This Valentine’s day, why not go all out and celebrate your relationship? If you are lucky enough to be in a romantic relationship, perhaps it’s time to give thanks, be grateful, and cement the bond.

While there are many things you can do for Valentine’s Day, the ultimate gift is a weekend away. This will surely go down well with your mate and also give you the break that you deserve by choosing experiences over material gifts.

But where can you go? While there are many destinations that beckon, seasoned players know that the choice of destination is very important and will ultimately determine how the experience will be. For V-Day, a quiet and secluded spot with plenty of natural beauty is usually the best.

Where to go this valentine day?

This Valentines Day, take a trip to the Himalayan wonderland that is Kasauli. This is one of the best places in the hills and therefore, Valentine’s Day getaways in Kasauli are especially suitable for couples, so let’s take a closer look at this divine destination.

Unlike many of the other popular hill stations, Kasauli is very quiet and clean. It also has a distinctly upmarket and posh vibe because of several important institutions here like The Central Research Institute, several schools, and some army installations.

How to get there to celebrate Valentines Day?

While you can take a flight, train, or bus to Kasauli, a road trip is the best and most romantic way to go. It gives you the chance to take things at your own pace and create your journey. It also allows stopping at various spots along the way as the mood dictates.

Delhi to Kasauli trip is fairly easy. The distance between the two places is only around 300 Km, which can be covered easily in 6-7 hours. The road is very good and travelers have multiple routes that they can take.
