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.

What our travellers say

If Red Dot ever ceased to exist and I wanted to return to Sri Lanka I would probably go somewhere else instead. They were, in every way shape and form, impeccable. From Samanthie who created the itinerary to Wicky who drove us here, there and everywhere I cannot imagine anybody doing it better. Impeccable. I need say no more except it doesn’t get any better.

We chose this company as we wanted our money to benefit the people of Sri Lanka rather than international companies. Their work supports smaller businesses, projects and communities as well as the environment

Our 11th visit to this magical Island with always something new to discover and see. This time we made it up north to Jaffna, via Mannar Island, after beginning in the tea country and acclimatising to the heat, after leaving a very cold UK in January. We had total confidence that RedDot would organise everything to perfection, having used them many times before

We had a fantastic holiday. The itinerary and choice of hotels was spot on, and seamlessly organised.

Exceptional tour of Sri Lanka with Dami. We cannot recommend Dami at Red dot tours highly enough. As our guide over 9 days he made sure that our trip to Sri Lanka was unforgettable- always going above & beyond to impart his knowledge, show us things off the beaten track, looking after us, getting us to try many local delicacies & making us laugh .. a LOT. Cannot imagine anyone doing a better job- if we could take him with us on every holiday we would!

Dulmini did a great job listening to our wishes and arranged an itinerary that was very busy but met all our needs. Sisira, our guide, was outstanding, providing us with great local knowledge and suggesting other activities on our travels. He was a great driver on the busy Sri Lankan roads, was always punctual but above all added colour to the whole trip.

I cannot recommend Red Dot Tours more highly. Thank you so much to Samanthie for her patience with me and all her hard work at putting together the perfect itinerary for my family. I had done a lot of research before I contacted Red Dot and Samanthie created a tour that fitted in all the activities we wanted to do and secured the hotels I told her we would like to stay in (not easy to do in high season).

Wow what can I say, from start to finish we have had a wonderful holiday with Red Dot Tours. Dulmini was so helpful in putting an itinerary together for us as a family of 6 and catering to all of our needs. We have ticked off so many of Sri Lanka’s beautiful sights during our trip. Dulmini and Dhanu were a great help to us while we were out on our travels too.

We spent 13 days on a Bawa tour with wonderful driver and guide Manjula, including Kandalama Heritance, The Kandy House, The Last House, Jetwing Yala, Jetwing Lighthouse and Club Villa hotels. We are 3 friends, one of them in the wheelchair. Dulmini Ekanayake from Red Dot Tours was very helpful and very patient and found solutions to all our special demands.

The itinerary was absolutely perfect and the hotels wonderful, especially Thotalagala, The Warden’s House and 41 Lighthouse Street. Our driver, Indika, was a delight-charming, knowledgeable, considerate and always punctual; he showed us more of this amazing country than we could have hoped for!

Wanted to take a moment to thank RedDot Tours, and specifically Jayandi for helping book a wonderful family vacation for my family and I. First time for my family and Jayandi took care of every detail, was so courteous and professional, and genuinely cared about our experience in SL. I would also like to mention Pradeep, our kind and understanding guide/chauffeur who took such good care of us while we were out and about. I cannot recommend RedDot enough!
Bob (November 2024) United States Read the whole review here Tripadvisor
We used Red Dot for the first time for our holiday in Sri Lanka. Dulmini put together such a wonderful experience for us, creating an itinerary she drew up after many discussions about what we like and also gave us suggestions for excursions and activities. It was totally bespoke and we were able to make changes throughout this process.

This is an excellent tour company. They planned our Sri Lankan holiday from start to finish. The trip was initially planned for 2022 but due to Covid and other issues we didn’t manage to undertake the trip until this year. Throughout all this time we had the same travel advisor Lahiru who responded quickly to my emails and rearranged and adjusted our holiday each year!
Anne (January 2025) United Kingdom Read the whole review here Tripadvisor
As a group of 8 we have had the most fabulous tour of Sri Lanka organised by Dulmini from RedDot who totally understood my brief of "some" culture, agriculture, nature, trekking and relaxation. The hotels chosen were a wonderful mixture of homestay, tented and pure luxury (Ceylon Tea Trails). The experiences to local villages, trekking the Pekoe Trail and climbing Pidurangala were memorable and our wonderful guide, Ananda, was so informative and knowledgeable and adapted to our needs admirable (not easy with a group of 8)
