A quickly approaching wedding can be a source of anxiety and stress for a bride-to-be, and a fun getaway with your girl best friends sounds like the perfect antidote. With the popularity of bachelorette trips on the rise, it’s never been a better time to whisk off to picture-perfect locales for quality time with your girlies. And if you’re planning a last-minute vacation without having to leave the country, then this list is the answer.

Havelock, Andaman Islands

Havelock in Andaman is home to one of the most stunning beaches in India, and makes for the perfect location for an idyllic bachelorette. Book cycles and go for group rides to discover more of the island, watch the sun go down as you sip cocktails, and go scuba diving or snorkelling if you’re an adventurous bunch. Whatever you do, you’re in for a trip of a lifetime!

Nashik, Maharashtra

Stunning views of lush vineyards, plenty of wine and quality time with your best friends—a bachelorette vacation doesn’t get more fun than this! Nashik promises all three—explore its many vineyards, sign up for a wine tasting, and go on riverside picnics and treks. 

Bir, Himachal Pradesh 

If an ideal vacation for your girl squad is indulging in activities that give you a big adrenaline rush (read: rock rappelling or paragliding), then Bir in Himachal Pradesh ticks all the boxes for a high-octane bachelorette. It offers a plethora of air adventures for you to enjoy, in addition to lush greenery, refreshing waterfalls, and enviable views of snow-clad mountains. 

Udaipur, Rajasthan

Rajasthan tops the list when it comes to destination weddings, so it’s no surprise that it’s a popular place for bachelorette bashes as well. And Udaipur, with its old-world charm and stunning lakes, is a crowd favourite. From opulent heritage hotels that treat you like royalty and relaxing boat rides on serene lakes, to glamping under the stars, there are endless possibilities for your girl gang while vacationing in the city. 

Pondicherry

Picturesque Pondicherry has a laid-back vibe that makes it an appealing destination to relax and unwind at before the stress of wedding takes over. With plenty to explore both in the quaint and colourful French Quarter and the Tamil side of the town, you’ll be spoilt for choice. And for a taste of the organic and slow lifestyle, don’t forget a trip to Auroville. Pick a home stay housed in one of the vibrant heritage buildings for the quintessential Pondicherry experience.
