Make sure they have passports.
Make sure visa would not be a problem.
If they cannot get by without Indian food, choices would be limited.
Thai food is more palatble for Indian s althougjh, I hear Italian os popular too.
If local cost is a factor, stay away from Europe, especially Switzerland.
I don't know what's "in" these days.
All very sensible points indeed.
Considering they have never been away from India, instead of throwing them in at the deep end of the pool (going to Europe, where they will have to cope with language issues, cuisine and price shocks), how about
Hong Kong? English is not a problem, good Indian food plus a whole lot else, much to see and do, lots to shop and no visa required! Besides, who knows what kind of turmoil will happen in Europe in a fortnight's time, after Grexit?
I am glad someone can see the issue clearly from the perspective of someone who has never been abroad. I am amazec how many people answer questions based on their perspective. It needs to be looked at from the perspective of the couple. You get three cheers feom me. ^^^
