In reply to Stuart Forster. Absolutely, it is such an incredible country and there is so much to absorb. Where did you go in India?

India is a fantastic place to travel. As an adult I found it magical. I imagine that visiting can profoundly influence youngsters as well as adults.

OK, that cow photo is a money shot! I took a group of 20 college kids to India a few years back, but can’t imagine doing it with kids. The college “kids” were hard enough to keep track of! =)

In reply to Katja Gaskell. Katja, This is very helpful, thank you! What about getting around? should I book in advance in the US before I leave, or will it be cheaper if I book excursions from the hotel once I get there? I've been getting quotes from travel agents in the States and I'm surprised how much they are charging. The cost is around $5,000 USD for only 6 nights which includes hotel and tours with a private driver. Let me know what you think.

In reply to Javed K.

Hi Javed,

Many thanks for getting in touch. Given how much time you have, I would recommend doing a Delhi – Agra – Ranthambore trip. Ranthambore is where you can go and (hopefully!) see tigers. Khem Villas is a wonderful place to stay there, great for kids with a strong emphasis on conservation. If you have a couple of days longer, you could spend some time in Jaipur.

So, as a rough itinerary, I would recommend:

Arrive Delhi, 1-2 nights in Delhi
Train to Agra, 1 night in Agra
Travel to Ranthambore 3 nights in Ranthambore
Travel to Jaipur, 2 nights in Jaipur
Return to Delhi

Hope that helps! Please do let me know if you have any further questions.

We have two boys, ages 5 and 2, and thinking about going to India in March 2018. We essentially would like to see the Taj Mahal, as this is the only World Wonder we have yet to see. With kids spring break, we only have 7-10 days, and that includes travel from the States. What itinerary would you recommend? Any insight you can provide will greatly be appreciated. We followed your Peru itinerary exactly how you depicted it and it was extremely helpful. Hoping you offer something similar for India.
