First, it was Kim Kardashian and Kanye West at Rio de Janeiro, then was Prince William and Kate Middleton's trip to Aberdeen. Closer home, Shilpa Shetty and Raj Kundra kick-started the trend when they set sail to Switzerland. Celebs like Rani Mukerji and Kareena Kapoor quickly popularised the fad in quick succession, across luxurious European destinations in a succession. In case you're wondering what this latest trend now gaining prominence among Indian couples… it is the babymoon!

A concept which was earlier a vogue only in the west, babymoon is a vacation taken by expecting couples right before the baby arrives. Seen as a second honeymoon, it gives couples a chance to reconnect and explore their dynamics right before the new addition to the family arrives. While the idea may seem like a breeze, it is no easy feat to plan this promising getaway. Great care has to be taken to ensure that the trip is enjoyable for the group of two (and a half). Below are some points by Hari Ganapathy, Co-Founder, Pickyourtrail to consider before planning a babymoon.
