Families in India
We know every family is different, which is why we begin each journey with a blank slate, shaping the experience around your interests, pace and your children’s ages.
India has something for everyone: exhilarating rickshaw rides through vibrant markets, serene boat cruises along the backwaters, tiger safaris deep in jungle reserves and afternoons spent exploring ancient forts before cooling off in the pool.
Its palaces and temples, the richness of its cultures and the warmth of its people often leave a lasting impression. For children, India’s deep religious and cultural diversity is both eye-opening and enriching - whether joining an aarti ceremony on the Ganges, visiting Sikh gurdwaras, Hindu temples, mosques or colonial-era churches - all within a single journey.
India doesn’t just entertain it ignites curiosity and inspires wonder. For families seeking something truly special, it’s unforgettable.
Why choose Red Dot for your family holiday to India
Travelling through India with your family couldn’t be easier with Red Dot. From the moment you arrive, you’ll have a spacious private vehicle and an engaging, English-speaking driver by your side throughout your journey, making everything smooth and stress-free. At each stop, we arrange expert local guides who not only know their history but know how to connect with children, bringing India to life in ways that are fun, vivid, and age appropriate.
Children are often enchanted by India’s vibrant energy — spotting elephants and camels along the roadside, riding iconic trains, exploring majestic forts and glittering palaces and wandering through markets filled with the scent of incense and the shimmer of bangles.
India is an adventure like no other, colourful, eye-opening and unforgettable for the whole family.
It's all in the detail…
To plan a truly special trip, we start by getting to know your family, especially your children. What excites them? What frustrates them? Which school subjects spark their curiosity? Do they thrive on long road trips or prefer the buzz of a train ride? Are they adventurous eaters or happiest with the familiar? Can they ride a bike, be coaxed into a hike, or would they rather take in the world from the back of a rickshaw?
No two children are the same, and that’s exactly why we take the time to understand yours. The more we know, the more precisely we can shape a journey that fits your family perfectly — one that ignites their sense of wonder, deepens their connection to the world and leaves them with memories they’ll treasure for years to come.

Begin with a visit to a local home where the family will show you how to craft colourful kites, before flying them together from the rooftop — a favourite pastime in the city. Continue with a block-printing workshop, where everyone can stamp vibrant patterns onto fabric and carry home their own creations.
Later, hop into a Pink City Rickshaw for a fun ride through the old city’s painted gates and bustling markets, stopping wherever curiosity strikes. In the afternoon, learn the art of traditional Rajasthani puppetry, making your own marionette before watching a lively performance. If energy allows, your guide can also arrange short workshops in henna design, clay pottery, rangoli, or even garland-making - giving the day a playful, creative finish. With the flexibility of a private guide, you can linger longer at the activities your family enjoys most.
