Where to travel

Little Red Dot in India

India is an extraordinary destination for families, especially those with teenagers. Bursting with colour, energy and contrast, it offers a new adventure every day. With so much to see and do, boredom simply isn’t on the itinerary.

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.

Our approach

Why travel with Red Dot?

Ultra Personalised

We create trips that are designed just for you - your exact interests, your unique tastes, your perfect adventure. Everything is built from scratch, which means we can push boundaries and create something truly special.

Support at every turn

With offices in Sri Lanka, India and the UK, we're always here to help, in your time zone. You'll never feel like you're travelling alone.

Unlike other tour operators, the majority of our team are based in South Asia and this means you get better value for money and crucially more of that money goes in to the local economy.

Drivers and Guides

Our drivers and guides don't just get you from place to place - they make your entire journey. It's our carefully selected relationships that set us apart. Just check our reviews and you'll see what we mean!

Curated Stays

We're passionate about beautiful, unique places that tell a story. Our recommendations come from years of experience and honest feedback, and we'll always encourage you to choose the small, characterful hotels over the big chains - trust us, you'll thank us later.

Value

Exceptional doesn't have to mean expensive. We take value seriously because we want you to feel confident that every pound is well spent and every experience is worth it.

What our travellers say

We went to Sri Lanka as a three-generation family of three. The superb trip was organised by Samanthie and the team and it's difficult to see how it could have been bettered.

Roy Wood (February 2026) Read the whole review here Google

Red Dot organised the most wonderful 3-week holiday for us. Samanthie built a trip around the amazing sights we had requested visiting, together with her own suggestions and a wide mix of hotels, which gave us the flavours of both traditional Sri Lanka and the sleek, stylish contemporary version of the country. Our Driver made the whole experience incredibly special for us.

I can’t thank Cherylle and the Red Dot team enough for their meticulous planning of our family holiday to India travelling through Rajasthan over Christmas. As a family of all adults, every suggestion from daily activities to hotel choices was simply perfect. We travelled through Delhi, Ranthambore (an unforgettable tiger safari!), Jaipur and Agra and I truly feel we experienced the very best of each destination while moving at a relaxed, well thought out pace

My partner arranged a holiday trip at fairly short notice to Sri Lanka with Red Dot on a recommendation, Samanthie was so patient & helpful with her suggested itinerary which we followed with some minor amendments. On arrival at Colombo we met Manjula our chauffeur/guide who was absolutely brilliant!

Dulmini and the Red Dot Team arranged a fantastic trip for us around Assam and North Eat India. Faultless service. I cannot recommend them more highly.

Wonderful company. Our holiday in Sri Lanka was perfect. Local knowledge made all the difference

Sandra Nicholson (February 2026) Read the whole review here Google

We looked up, and communicated with umpteen tour operators. Though Red Dot seemed to have offices in Sri Lanka and the UK, they seemed to have the best reviews. We were fortunate enough to correspond with Cherylle, who not only assured us of the safety of our friend, but created a personalised, and flexible, itinerary which we could not have done ourselves.

A 14-day tour with Red Dot Tours was the perfect antidote to the bleak UK winter. After a glowing recommendation from a friend, we contacted Red Dot Tours and were not disappointed. Our consultant, Lahiru, curated a seamless itinerary. Throughout the planning phase, Lahiru was incredibly responsive; the final itinerary—delivered via a user-friendly 'Guest Portal'—was impressively detailed, covering every hotel stay and excursion.
