After getting married or to spend some of the most beautiful and memorable moments of life with their special partner, every couple wishes to go to a place where their eyes will be filled with peace after seeing the beauty and they can get some moments of peace away from the hectic life of the city. Whenever it comes to honeymoon or romantic trip, the first name that comes to people’s mind is Paris, the capital of France, or Malaysia, a country in South-East Asia. But if you are looking for a place away from the crowd where nature is present in its most beautiful and untouched form, then you should leave the options of Paris and Malaysia and go to New Zealand. The snowy peaks, calm lakes of blue water, huge glaciers and mesmerizing natural views of this country, which is called heaven on earth, fill a new energy of romance in the hearts of couples. In today’s special travel guide, we have brought for you such an exciting and well-planned travel plan of 7 to 8 days to New Zealand, by adopting which you can make this foreign trip with your partner memorable for life. Let us know in detail which beautiful places of New Zealand you should visit in this short but excellent trip of 7 to 8 days and what should be its complete schedule.
Before setting out on any international trip, the first and most important step is to get the correct timings and complete the administrative formalities. The best time to visit New Zealand is considered to be the summer season of the Southern Hemisphere, i.e. between November to March, when the weather is pleasant and along with the snowy mountains, greenery and blooming flowers spread their beauty all around. Indian citizens require a valid Visitor Visa to visit New Zealand, for which the application process is completely online. You should apply for the visa along with passport, financial documents, air tickets and hotel booking at least two to three months before your travel dates to avoid any last minute inconvenience. Flights are easily available from major cities of India to Auckland or Christchurch, where you can land and start your wonderful journey.
Your 7-8 day romantic journey starts from the beautiful city of Christchurch in New Zealand, which is also known as ‘Garden City’. On the first day after landing, you can spend quality time with your partner in the local Botanical Gardens, Hagley Park and in the cool cafes of the city. After this, on the second day of the trip, you can fly to ‘Queenstown’, which is called the Adventure Capital of the country, or enjoy a car drive through beautiful roads. As soon as you reach Queenstown, you will be welcomed by the snowy mountains of the Southern Alps and the blue glass-clear Lake Wakatipu spread in front. An evening stroll along the lakefront and a taste of the local famous Fergburger will be a great start to your trip.
On the third day of the trip, do not miss a day trip from Queenstown to ‘Milford Sound’, which is counted among the most amazing natural wonders of the world. Here, waterfalls falling from high mountains, blue water flowing through deep valleys and swimming dolphins or seals will blow your senses. When you enjoy a boat cruise in the calm waters of Milford Sound with your partner, time seems to stand still. On the fourth day, you can ride the Skyline Gondola around Queenstown, from where a panoramic view of the entire city is visible. Apart from this, here both of you can enjoy adrenaline boosting activities like jet boating or alpine swing, which will add more thrill and excitement to your relationship.
Now the caravan of your journey moves ahead towards New Zealand’s highest mountain peak ‘Mount Cook / Aoraki’. Light trekking here, holding your partner’s hand, on the snowy valleys and Hooker Valley Track will be one of the most beautiful moments of your life. The huge glaciers and white blanketed mountains here are no less than a paradise for photography lovers. After this, on the evening of the sixth day, you will reach ‘Lake Tekapo’, whose blue water looks like milky turquoise. Lake Tekapū is included in the world’s best Dark Sky Reserve, where your eyes will be wide open seeing the sight of countless stars and the Milky Way shining in the open sky at night. Spending the night sitting under the stars with your partner will prove to be the most romantic part of this trip.
In the final stages of your unforgettable 7-8 day journey, you will reach New Zealand’s largest and most vibrant metropolis ‘Auckland’, which is also known as the ‘City of Sales’. Here you can see a beautiful view of the entire city and its ports from the height of the Sky Tower. In the evening, having dinner at a great restaurant around the Harbor Bridge and doing some special shopping for your partner from the local markets will give a pleasant end to this trip. After this, by taking your return flight from Auckland International Airport, you will return with a lot of beautiful memories which will remain fresh in your mind forever. This calm and natural trip to New Zealand, away from the hustle and bustle of Paris and Malaysia, will add a new freshness and depth to your love relationship.
