Offbeat Date Ideas

Skip the cliche and rather opt for something adventurous or crazy. Trust us, it will be worth it. Get a tattoo done together, explore a hidden gem, sign up for a joint workshop or activities, or get a relaxing couple's spa done. If you've got a day off, opt for a day-long trek, camping or simply go for a long drive with some really good music. Here's a really comprehensive list of offbeat things to do with your bae.

Plan A Long Weekend In Advance

Now, as it's a Friday, you can opt to make your one-day plan into a full-fledged three day one. While there are plenty of getaways around Mumbai, you can opt for some really exotic (and unknown destinations) and explore something new rather. How about Murud Janjira Islands, Chikhladara, Tadoba Tiger Reserve? Sound fun right? 

So, plan, get your bookings in place and simply head. 

Shop For A Special Outfit

Now, if you yet decide to stick to cliche and opt for a fancy fine-dine experience, make sure you've shopped for this special date. If you're looking for something designer and chic, you can look out for multiple boutiques in Kala Ghoda, Bandra and Kemps Corner. We'd suggest go for Cord, Bombay Shirt Company, Mesh or Soap Opera

This city has tons of options. So, just go and shop well in advance.
