7 thoughts on “13 best places to visit outside india – under 6 hours flight”.

Wow! I loved your list. I have travelled to Singapore & Dubai. Looking forward to visit other destinations too. Thailand, Malaysia, Hong Kong &Vietnam I want to explore.

I wanted to drop a comment to express my appreciation for your blog post on the “13 Best Places to Visit Outside India – Under 6 hours flight.” Your detailed description of each destination made it easy for me to plan my next vacation. After reading about the Maldives, I am now inspired to plan a trip. Thank you for sharing your travel experiences and recommendations.

This is indeed a very intelligent list that you have compiled. Would come handy to anyone with budget or time constraints. I would also suggest Bangladesh. Barely an hour from Kolkata, this country has a lot to offer in terms of nature, history, crafts, weaves, food and culture in general.

I’ve been to 3 out of the list and going to Thailand in June. I always prefer near by destinations than far off as I get too bugged to sit for long hour flights. I would also recommend Oman in the near by destination as it’s one of the beautiful places to be.

These are great short trip options. Now that we have covered all of them, it’s an issue which quick getaway is on our list for family travel! I mean when you are traveling with kids and elderly parents, you don’t want to spend 15 hours on a flight with a 4 hour stopover. Can you list some other options too under 6 hour radar?

I must say your post on the best places to visit outside India under 6 hours is an incredible piece of work. Your vivid descriptions of each destination, accompanied by breathtaking pictures, made me feel as if I were already there. I appreciate your effort in making it an informative and enjoyable read.

I had recently visited Maldives, and although the experience of staying at a resort island was out of the world, the local island Hulhumale was charming as well.

If you are looking for cool-to-warm and dry weather, you'd best visit India between December and February. During this peak season, room rates and demand for guides reaches its highest from December 22 to January 7. So, booking 3 months in advance is necessary to guarantee rooms and experienced guides.

You can get good prices with good temperatures in March, October, and November, if you don't mind the slightly higher temperatures of up to around 30°C (86°F) and the risk of some rainfall. For more details, read on Best (and Worst) Times to Visit India

The Worst Time to Visit India

April to September is considered to contain the worst times to visit India. The heat in the hot season (April to May) and rainfall in monsoon season (June to September) may cause some discomfort and inconvenience during your trip.

However, these worst times do have their benefits: the lowest prices and smallest crowds.

To make an India visit better, you could head to its hill stations during hot season, such as Shimla in the north and Munnar in the south. Or contact us for a private tour with an air-conditioned car to escape from the heat to after sightseeing, where we'll provide cold drinks.

During the rainy season, you're suggested to discover the drier desert land of Rajasthan. Any monsoon rainfall rarely lasts for long there, so you would still find many hours for sightseeing. Our experienced guide would help to adjust your daily itinerary wisely to minimize any effects of rain on your tour.

India is quite budget-friendly, compared to developed countries. You can just spend as little as US$30–50 a day on independent touring, if you don't mind hostels, local food, and long bus journeys.

If you're travelling with young kids or older relatives, a private tour is more suitable to guarantee comfort.

• On a mid-range budget, you would pay around US$150–200 per day per person. For that, you could enjoy a private tour with an English-speaking guide, a private car, and 3/4-star hotels.
• For more comfort, US$200–250 per day per person would purchase airfares within India, 5-star hotels, the best attraction tickets, private guiding, and transfers.

Check out more on How Much Does a Trip to India Cost?

For most family trips, you're suggested to take flights between major cities that are long distances apart , like Delhi to Varanasi and Delhi to Goa.

Meanwhile, a private car is more recommended for journeying between nearby cities , like Delhi to Agra (3 hours) and Agra to Jaipur (4 hours).

Local buses are not suggested as you may find using them hard due to the language barrier, unfamiliar procedures, and a lack of English announcements, not to mention different comfort levels.

You might hear that Indian food is spicy. While it's true that some Indian dishes are spicy, most range from mild to medium heat. But if your kids don't like it, you can order non-spicy food or find Western food in major cities.

Besides the flavor, you also need to pay attention to food hygiene. Choose reputable restaurants, eat hot freshly-cooked food, and drink bottled water with a sealed top.

Generally speaking, 4-star or higher-end hotels are cleaner and safer in India . Cribs and pools are usually available at most top-end hotels too.

Most hotel rooms offer a double bed with one extra bed at most. If you're a family of more than three, you would probably have to book two rooms. If you prefer family rooms and interconnecting rooms, you should book 3 months or even half a year in advance due to short supply.

Staying at heritage hotels allows you to get closer to India history and enrich your stay with exotic experiences. Local brands (Taj group and Oberoi group), especially in Rajasthan, are popular choices for most travelers. You can get excellent service, but only need to pay a similar price as for a 4/5-star international hotel.

Adding a one- or two-night stay in a luxury resort will give your family an awesome experience! You could enjoy palace-like buildings, exclusive service, and remarkable scenery. Most luxury resorts cost from US$600 for a standard room in peak season.

When booking hotels in India, beware of hotel names with "palace" in. Some might be rough home stays in dark alleys. So double-check locations and reviews, or contact us for worry-free booking!

You can obtain a paper visa at an India embassy/consulate or apply for an e-Visa , which is possible online for the majority of nationalities, including the UK, US, Canada, and Australia .

Generally speaking, e-visas are quicker and more convenient than paper visas. E-visa applications take about 3 working days and cost about US$69 per person.

The Visa On Arrival option is currently only available for those from Japan, South Korea, and UAE who previously have had an India visa.

Travelling independently in India could be challenging due to the demands of tour planning, the language barrier, and chaos of local transportation. Being unfamiliar with local customs or culture might lead to problems as well.

Independent travel may seem good in order to enjoy maximum flexibility, but for a family trip, a private tour is ideal for perfectly balancing flexibility and comfort , while taking the stress out of foreign travel.

Contact us for a 1:1 travel consultant to customize a tour for you and your interests. He/she could email or call you at your convenience. We would provide you with a well-organized but flexible itinerary with a comfortable pace. Your local guide would save you from communication troubles, keep you safe, and deal with any issues or emergencies.

Family India Golden Triangle Adventure

We really enjoyed this trip - it was excellent, an amazing experience. Every day was enjoyable and memorable and we saw so much on the trip

Northern India Family Holiday

4 families with a total of 17 people in the group, youngest child 11. Personally I would not take a younger child. I'd also get a flight that arrives the day before not 2 hours before (booked by intrepid) to make the start less crazy - thrown into Old Delhi with all the sights, sounds and smells. Our transformation when returned there at the end of the trip showed how we had all acclimatised to the very different way of life. This is full on for the first half of the trip with 5am starts and lots of travel but you need to immerse yourself in this - this is not a beach holiday or one where you will read much of a book. Tour guide was excellent and listened to how we were coping, making changes if needed. The end part of the tour was a slower pace, with a long day of coach travel at the end. I would have preferred not to have visited the school which was interesting but added travel and included the "opportunity to donate". We all had an amazing experience, looked after well, a variety of train experiences were great and we saw so much we could not have managed on our own. I would recommend the trip.

• Local Living

India in a nutshell with Indian family stay

Indian family stay arranged on this tour was just wonderful. We had a chance to get to know real indian customs and stay with very polite and hospitable Indian family. They took care of us like very close family members making us feel special. We were invited to some home festival where all the village member came to fest. Great experience! Sightseeing of Golden triangle was also very well arranged and organised, the guides really knowledgeable and interesting. Mithun the driver is a gentle and nice man who made us feel really safe.

Golden Triangle Tour With Ranthambore

Also wir haben die Tour als Part 2 unserer Indien reise gemacht - waren zuerst im Norden Indiens. Vorab die Tour Operator sind eigentlich immer erreichbar und versuchen alles in ihrer Macht euch eine gute Reise zu ermöglichen. Hier ein paar Eckpunkte. - 8 Tage sind nicht viel für Indien. - Mann ist sehr viel in Städten unterwegs. (Steht aber auch in der Tour Beschreibung) - Städte sind nicht mit europäischen Städten vergleichbar und können anfangs viel für einen sein. (Lautstärke und Gerüche) - Man sitzt viel im Auto (An Reisetagen von 3 -6h) -- Unser Fahrer war sehr nett und unglaublich freundlich. - Die Hotels sind bis auf eines (Lillypool Heritage - war so schlimm das wir das Hotel gewechselt haben) aus unserer Sicht sehr gut gewesen. (Uns war einfach nur wichtig das es sauber sein muss - insbesondere Dusche und Toilette) -- Das Essen in den Hotels war durchwegs sehr gut. Aus unserer Sicht war das Hotel "Royal Regent" hier das beste und hatte das zuvorkommendste Personal. (Subjekte Sicht) - Wenn man weiblich und blond ist oder generell weiß wird man angestarrt und ständig nach Fotos gebeten. -- Tipp für Frauen macht vielleicht nicht mit allen ein Foto ein "Nein" wird grundsätzlich verstanden. ( Es sind mit solchen Fotos nicht immer die guten Absichten im Vordergrund) - Unsere Tour guides waren alle sehr sehr nett - einige wussten mehr andere weniger das selbe im Sinne der englischen Sprache. -- Tipp für Bargeld --- erkundigt euch was wie viel man wem Tipp gibt --- wechselt euer Bargeld in kleine scheine 20/50/100 sind sehr wichtig. Trinkgeld wird grundsätzlich überall "vorausgesetzt" - Essen im allgemeinen -- in die Restaurants in die man "geführt" wird konnten wir gut essen und der Magen hat "gehalten" -- Tipp: Eier und Meeresfrüchte haben wir vermieden -- Wenn ihr Getränke bestellt immer in Dosen oder Flaschen (bei den Flaschen wirklich schauen ob es "knackt" - werden manchmal mit Leitungswasser nachgefüllt - war bei uns jedoch nie der Fall) - Die Safari war unser Highlight, der Nationalpark Ranthambore und unglaublich schön. Wir hatten das Wahnsinns Glück einen Tiger zu sehen. -- Tipp falls möglich immer mit einem Jeep und nicht mit einem "großen" (LKW verschnitt) die Touren zu machen. -- Im jeep seit ihr bis zu 4-5 Personen im LKW verschnitt 20 (mehr muss ich glaub ich nicht mehr sagen) Zusammfassend, bei dieser Reise bekommt man viele Eindrücke man sieht riesige Städte und unglaubliche Bauwerke. In den Städten sieht man weit nicht alles weil dafür sind ein oder zwei Tage einfach zu wenig. Man sieht ein paar schöne Monumente und ein wenig von der Stadt. Unser absolutes Highlight war die Safari, eine entspannende Abwechslung zu dem sonst so hektischen Geschehen in den Städten. Hier nur eine kleine Bemerkung am Rande schaut euch die Natur an und genießt es die doch so andere Natur zu sehen. Geht nicht mit der Erwartung rein Tiger zu sehen. Alles in allem eine gelungene Reise.

Golden Triangle Tour with Varanasi

PROS : OUR DRIVER SUSHIL !!! This trip was an amazing overview of the North Indian experience. Our driver Sushil was a blessing for us throughout the trip! He was very professional, adaptable and constantly ensuring that we are enjoying ourselves. He was also very adaptable whenever we wanted to slightly steer away from the schedule. I will be recommending him to all my friends and family who are thinking about going on this trip. The guides were also very knowledgeable. CON: The stay at Jaipur was a convenient hotel as it was close to the monuments but the smell from the nearby sewage was unbearable. We moved the room but I am pretty sure it didn't help much. I also had the displeasure of eating uncooked raw chicken at the hotel - luckily I didn't get sick. Please avoid that hotel from your roster. OVERALL, we were very satisfied and will be booking with you guys again :) THANK YOU

Unique Himalaya tour with sightseeing, trekking and Indian family homestay

My friend and I chose this tour because we wanted to find out something about Indian customs, culture and spend time at one with Nature. The choice was great because the total organization was perfect and lived up to our requirements. Trekking was really fantastic and gave us opportunity to see beautiful Himalayan nature. We had a terrific guide who knew trails perfectly and knew the area really well. Indian family homestay was great too. The landlady and the landlord together with the other family members made our stay heart touching and pleasant. We got to know what Indian hospitality means and how people in India live. We want to come back to India again and certainly with Paylesstoursindia as a travel operator.

Golden Triangle Tour - 3 Days

Itinerary and guides were excellent and the driver’s care and attention much appreciated. The main improvement needed is the Jaipur hotel.

Luxury 3 Day Golden Triangle With 5 star Hotel

We just completed a GREAT three-day Golden Triangle tour of Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur. First, I have to say our driver, Khan, must have gotten his amazing driving skills in another world! He navigated the most difficult roads and situations with ease, making sure we were comfortable and safe the whole time. When visiting a new place, this is so important! He also pointed out a lot of sites and gave us additional points on Indian cultural, all is great English. The daily tour guides did an excellent job too. Each one had an incredible amount of historical, cultural, and societal knowledge and was happy to share with us. It’s was a fast trip, but we saw and learned a lot. I highly recommend this trip to anyone interested in seeing a slice on Indian life and learning about Indian culture.

Tailor-Made Family India Tour of Khajuraho & Tiger Safari with Daily Departure

Religious and Historical Varanasi & Khajuraho Tour with Delhi Agra Jaipur

Religious and historical tour of Varanasi and Khajuraho, along with a visit to the iconic cities of Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur. As an avid traveler and history enthusiast, I was thrilled to explore these culturally rich destinations and learn more about the religious and historical significance of each place. My journey began in Delhi, where I was greeted by my knowledgeable and friendly tour guide who took me to some of the city’s most famous landmarks, such as the Red Fort, Jama Masjid, and Qutub Minar. Each of these sites had a unique story to tell and I was fascinated by the intricate architecture and rich history behind them. Next, we made our way to Agra to visit the magnificent Taj Mahal. Words cannot describe the beauty and grandeur of this iconic monument. It was truly a surreal experience to witness this architectural marvel in person and learn about the love story behind its creation. The next leg of our journey took us to the vibrant city of Jaipur, also known as the Pink City. Here, I got to witness the stunning Amber Fort, Hawa Mahal, and the City Palace. I was amazed by the intricate details and vibrant colors of the architecture, which truly reflected the royal heritage of the city. But the highlight of my trip was the spiritual city of Varanasi, where I got to witness the Ganga Aarti ceremony on the banks of the holy river Ganges. It was a truly ethereal experience, surrounded by the chanting of prayers and the flickering of oil lamps. I also had the opportunity to take a boat ride along the Ganges and witness the ancient ghats and temples that line its banks. The last stop on our tour was Khajuraho, famous for its stunning temples adorned with intricate carvings and sculptures. These temples are not only a testament to the architectural brilliance of the Chandela dynasty but also depict various aspects of Hindu mythology. Overall, my religious and historical tour of Varanasi and Khajuraho with Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur was an unforgettable experience. I was able to learn more about the diverse cultures, religions, and history of India, and witness some of the most iconic landmarks in the country. The tour was made even more enjoyable by the knowledgeable guides and the warm hospitality of the locals. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore the spiritual and historical side of India.

Special & Most Popular India Golden Triangle Tour 5 Days 4 Nights

I recently took the Special & Most Popular India Golden Triangle Tour 5 Days 4 Nights and it was an amazing experience. The tour was well-organized and the itinerary was well thought-out, taking us to the most iconic places in India. We visited the Taj Mahal, the Red Fort in Delhi, the Agra Fort and Fatehpur Sikri, all of which were absolutely stunning. The tour guide was knowledgeable and friendly, and he gave us plenty of insight into the history and culture of India. We also visited some lesser-known places, such as the Monkey Temple in Jaipur, which was a real highlight. The hotels were comfortable and the food was delicious. Overall, I had an amazing time and I would highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in seeing the highlights of India.

Reviews of India Family Tours

I have rated this tour as 5 star, some of it exceeded our expectations & some of it fell a bit short, but on average I am happy to rate as 5 star. Those parts that exceeded our expectations were firstly our driver Anand Messi who was an absolute superstar, he was incredibly attentive to our every need & we felt very safe with him. All the guides we had were amazing especially Raghu & Yogi ( unsure of spelling). The hotel we had in Agra was beautiful ( Savoir Portico) & also the Ranthambore (Shergarh) was fantastic. The other hotels we were in (Delhi, Jaipur & Delhi airport) fell far below our expectations & in one instance ( Delhi airport) we had to leave & book in to another hotel as we felt we could not stay there. We did however book the tour quite late so that could be one of the reasons. I would highly recommend this tour but maybe work closely with the tour operator to ensure you are happy with the hotels or choose a higher class of hotels - ours were 4 star & heritage although that didn’t equate to 4* in Uk hotels other than the Agra & Ranthambore ones ( which would be 4 * in Uk)

Best Family Trip Destinations & Things To Do With Kids In India

India might not be the most obvious family cruise holiday choice, but for those intrepid families who yearn for something different, India may be one of the most captivating countries you encounter, and if you’re up for the challenge, the rewards can be great.

The colors, the chaos, the noise, the dirt, the smells … for any first-time visitor to India no matter their age, the culture shock smacks you in the face and can be astonishing, shocking, and often staggering. India is definitely not for the fainthearted, and is rarely considered a top travel destination for the youngest of families. But for those with slightly older and inquisitive children, it’s a destination that attacks and awakens the senses – exhausting yet energising, frustrating yet thought-provoking, mind-boggling yet magical.

Adventure lies around every corner in India, and simple things like a ride in a tuk-tuk will become a memory for life. But neither will you lack for epic encounters and experiences that rival the world’s best, whether it be the opportunity to go on tiger safari, take mountain train journeys, enjoy backwater houseboat holidays, or take camel rides in the desert. Indeed, amid Bollywood beats and such a vibrant culture, your kids may well believe that they’re part of a movie set!

So for those venturesome clans, read on to learn about some of the best family trip destinations in India, including the things to do with kids whilst you are there, plus some top tips for traveling with kids in India.

International and local children alike will love to play in the grounds of the Taj Mahal.

Visit the Taj Mahal

If you are planning a once-in-a-lifetime family trip to India, the chances are that you will want to include the Taj Mahal on your itinerary . It is described as the most beautiful building in the world. The best time to visit the Taj Mahal is at sunrise, and it’s also the least busy time of day. Feed your family before you come, as no food is allowed inside. Be patient and be prepared to queue.

It’s a good idea to hire a local guide who knows the best spots for photography and can get the kids excited about the culture and history of the Taj Mahal and how it came into existence. There are quiet areas for kids to play in the grounds, and remember it is okay to say no to selfie requests.

A traditional puppet show amid the pink palaces of Jaipur will be sure to go down a treat with little ones.

Explore the flamboyant palaces and impressive forts in Jaipur

The forts and palaces of Jaipur provide a sanctuary of calm children and adults alike. Visit early to avoid tour groups, and marvel at the intricate pink architecture. Let your kids’ imaginations run wild as they discover ornate doorways, maze-like corridors and narrow staircases, peep through lattice windows and explore gardens and opulent courtyards of a bygone era. You may even catch a traditional puppet show, accompanied with live drumming and singing, which will keep your little ones truly engaged.

Astronomy for all ages – Jaipur’s Jantar Mantar Observatory is an unusual and popular place for families keen on the secrets of the skies.

Visit the Jantar Mantar Observatory

Across the road from the City Palace in Jaipur is Jantar Mantar Observatory. More than just a collection of bizarre artworks, it’s a mind-boggling complex of 14 giant and highly accurate instruments constructed to measure time, predict eclipses, and track the locations of the stars. It’s one of the top things to see in Jaipur, and kids of all ages will receive a good lesson in astronomy. Younger children will love exploring all the weird and wonderful shapes and shadows.

Exploring Jaisalmer’s surrounding sand dunes by camel safari is great fun for all the family.

Ride camels through the deserts of Jaisalmer

Chances are that you’ll spot some camels on your travels in India so why not take a camel safari into the desert and camp out under the stars. The Thar desert around Jaisalmer in northern Rajasthan is one of the most popular places to enjoy this Indian experience. It’s an awesome way to escape the cities and witness rural desert life.

The snow-capped Himalayan backdrop, zigzagging turns and scarily-steep gradients of a toy train ride on the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway will delight adults and kids of all ages.

Ride the toy train on the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway

Darjeeling is a must-see place to visit with family in India, and a ride on the famous toy train is a must-do activity. The high snow-clad mountains, the zigzag turns and thrillingly steep gradients will delight adults and kids of all ages. You’ll marvel at the Kanchenjunga Peak and an unbelievably picture-perfect view of Darjeeling town, valleys, forests, and tea gardens on this fabulous journey.

Powdered snow aplenty at the Himalayan hill station of Gulmarg – great for snow-loving families.

Ski the Himalayas in Kashmir

The hill station of Gulmarg, in the state of Jammu & Kashmir in northern India, has gained a reputation as one of the best ski resorts in Asia, home to waist-deep powder snow, near-empty ski runs that go for miles and miles and some of the most affordable skiing in the world. During the winter months, a thick covering of snow is perfect for skiing, snowboarding, tobogganing and snowman building.

This is a brilliant place for a family ski or snowboard holiday, and there are a lot of things to do with kids in Gulmarg. For beginner skiers there are a handful of nursery slopes and lessons available, while the options are endless for more experienced skiers and snowboarders.

Tiger spotting is the main draw for nature-loving little ones to the wildlife-rich Ranthambore National Park in Rajasthan.

Spot tigers in Ranthambore National Park

The forested reserve of Ranthambore is home to leopards, wild boar, sambar, chital, sloth bears, langur monkeys and, of course, Royal Bengal Tigers. Morning and afternoon tiger safaris take place in jeeps and usually last three to four hours. It’s one of the best places to visit in India with family, offering an incredible opportunity to see any of these creatures in their natural habitat.

The reserve itself is quite beautiful, dotted with ancient temples, hunting pavilions and large reservoirs where these jungle cats like to hang out. For a bird’s eye view of the park and its surrounds, climb up Ranthambore Fort that was built in 900 AD. Rumor has it that some weaponry still remains in the ancient barracks.

Make a family home away from home … on a houseboat! A cruise around Kerala’s biodiverse backwaters is a brilliant option with kids.

Travel on a houseboat and go kayaking through Kerala’s backwaters

Mellow Kerala in the south is one of the best places in India for a family trip and an easy place to travel with kids. One of the best ways to experience the rural lifestyle of the backwaters ― a long chain of lagoons and lakes that wind their way inland, parallel to the Arabian Sea – is on a kettuvallam (rice barge), a traditional Keralan houseboat . As you glide gently along the waterways past villages, temples, churches and wading buffalos, you may spot working boatyards, fishermen hauling in their catch or villagers separating coir and spinning it into threads.

Your kids can help steer your ‘floating hotel’ and wave to the local children heading off to school. Keep an eye out for the local birdlife along the way, egrets and kingfishers are commonly spotted in the backwaters. More family adventures include kayaking through these waterways alongside dugout canoes with farmers transporting their produce.

Tips for traveling in India with kids

Whichever family trip destination in India you choose, there are always some things to be aware of and bear in mind when traveling with kids.

• Allow for delays, especially in the big cities, where the traffic has to be seen to be believed. Getting from one place to another always takes longer than you expect, and trains become fully booked almost as soon as tickets become available, so book train travel as early as possible.
• India is chaotic to say the least, infamous for its ever-jostling crowds, incessant honking, haggling, selfie requests, and bureaucracy. To balance this, you need to ensure that the place where you stay is an oasis away from the chaos. This will give you all a breather and much needed time out.
• Note that it’s unusual to find hotels with rooms housing two double beds, and interconnecting rooms are not common either. More likely you will find rooms with one double bed and a maximum of one extra bed allowed per room. Families with more than one child will usually have to book two hotel rooms. Some hotels are happy for a child to share a bed with their parents. Look for somewhere that includes breakfast too, so you don’t have to head out early with hungry kids.
• Remember it can be brutally hot and there is often no shade, so carry an umbrella and ensure you always have enough drinking water. Staying in a hotel with air-con is a must and a swimming pool is always a winner with children.
• It’s dirty everywhere, with litter commonplace, and the dreaded ‘Delhi Belly’ is high on the list of concerns of many travelers. This worry is compounded by the fact young kids love touching everything – from the walls to their feet, to high-fiving strangers – so carrying hand sanitizer at all times is essential.
• Most kids are fussy eaters and spicy food is an acquired taste, but at most Indian restaurants the chef can make a plain omelette or plain rice, and your kids will probably love the naan bread. In tourist areas you can usually find fries and pizzas and pasta, and there’s always a fruit stall nearby (just stick to fruits you peel).

If you and your little ones are brave and adventurous enough, India family tours allow you the chance to experience incredible adventures like nowhere else on the planet. Filled with spectacular sights, beautiful landscapes, fun activities, delicious food and much more, there is a lot for families to see and do in India. In fact, traveling in India with kids will be one of the most eye-opening trips you will ever take as a family.
