Choosing an exotic location, checking into a luxurious hotel and following a planned itinerary are passe when it comes to young couples who take off on their honeymoons.

For, youngsters these days love to experiment and rough it out while taking the first trip with their spouse. Check out some of the popular adventure honeymoon trips you can go for...

Take a road trip
There's something romantic about hopping onto bike or a car and taking a trip through long stretches of roads, winding mountain paths and by the riverside. Couples not only get to spend quality time with each other, but can also take this opportunity to learn little things about their better half which may have otherwise escaped their notice.

Trek and camp
Booking a honeymoon suite, getting pampered at the spa and lazing around by the poolside scream luxury. Instead, try trekking through rough paths, hiking through forests and camping under star-lit skies with your partner. Cooking over a bonfire and cozying up under a blanket on a dark night might not exactly be luxurious, but it surely does spell romance, all in capitals!

Explore the unexplored
Maldives, Mauritius, Bangkok and the rest of the world may be on your honeymoon destination wish list, but try choosing a place that's hardly explored to set out with your spouse. Discovering local cuisine and attractions, staying with the natives and understanding their culture can prove to be memorable.

Take up adventure sports
Scuba diving, snorkeling, sky diving, deep sea diving, paragliding... there is a long list of adventure sports that one can opt for. It's important that you train for most of these sports before you actually undertake them, and this training period can prove to be the best part of your honeymoon, as you get to understand your partner better and assure them of your presence during difficult times.
