Discover the Heritage of Rajasthan

Rajasthan, the 'Land of Kings', is a must-visit during your India family vacations. Journey through its historic palaces and forts, each narrating tales of heroism and regal splendour. Families can explore the Amber Fort in Jaipur or enjoy a tranquillizing boat ride on Lake Pichola in Udaipur. Children will adore riding camels in the Thar Desert, immersing themselves in the mesmerizing rhythm of the desert lifestyle.

Experience the Serenity of Kerala

For families seeking a more serene escape, Kerala offers lush landscapes and calm, inviting backwaters. Known as 'God’s Own Country', it provides a rich mix of culture, nature, and relaxation. Cruise through its network of tranquil backwaters on a traditional kettuvallam (houseboat), savour the piquant flavours of a Keralan meal, and relax on some of India’s most beautiful beaches. Visit Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary, where kids can delight in spotting elephants and other wildlife amidst verdant surroundings.

Unwind in the Goan Sun

Famed for its beaches, Goa is perfect for family vacations to India. Its golden sands and vibrant culture create an exciting playground for all ages. Engage in water sports, explore colonial architecture, or simply unwind by the Arabian Sea as the sun sets in a riot of colours.

Adventure Awaits in the Himalayas

The Himalayan region offers family adventures filled with picturesque trails and stunning vistas. During trips to India, families can engage in gentle treks through the lush valleys of Himachal Pradesh or enjoy thrilling activities like paragliding over the scenic landscape of Manali. For a winter wonderland experience, Shimla's toy train ride affords breathtaking views around every bend.

Taste the Flavours of India

India's cuisine is as diverse as its culture, offering an array of flavours that are bound to captivate the taste buds of every family member. From the rich, buttery dishes of the north to the spicy and aromatic dishes of the south, food plays a crucial role in the cultural tapestry of India. Don't miss out on teaching the kids to make traditional roti or sampling street foods like pani puri and dosa from bustling markets.

Immerse in Culture and Traditions

Indian culture celebrates diversity through its festivals, music, and dance. During India family vacations, participate in a local festival like Diwali, the festival of lights, or Holi, a riot of colours. Experience the rhythmic beats of Kathakali in Kerala or the intricate patterns of Rajasthani folk dance. These cultural immersions provide a deeper understanding and appreciation of India's rich heritage.

Comprehensive Travel Tips

Planning family vacations to India requires some thoughtful consideration. Choose destinations that cater to all ages. India offers plenty of family-friendly accommodations, from heritage hotels to luxurious resorts. Prioritize safety when trying street food, and always carry bottled water.

What I love most about visiting India is how alive everything feels. The colours, the food, the people. Every place has its own vibe and story. One moment you’re in a quiet temple, the next you’re in a bustling street market. It’s chaotic in the best way

I wanted to reach out and share some well-deserved praise for Jacqueline, who has assisted me closely with several of my travels.

I have worked with Goway several times in the past two years and every single trip has been unforgettable. Specifically, our travel advisor, Maria, has helped us book phenomenal trips to Thailand, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Ireland, and most recently, Iceland. Maria is so wonderful and easy to talk to, but what really stands out is her ability to get to know her clients so she can plan trips that perfectly align with our interests and desires. I cannot recommend her strongly enough! Her expertise, hard-work, and dedication towards each trip has given myself, my family, and friends memories to last a lifetime! Kayla Covello

I have been booking with GoWay for more than 2 years and feel so fortunate to have the best Travel Advisor, Maria Spitman, making our vacations unforgettable. I can’t say enough about Maria… she is personable, efficient, detail-oriented, and extremely knowledgeable about her specialty destinations. We have booked many trips with her, including Thailand, Spain, Portugal, Sicily, Iceland, and our most recent trip in Greece. Maria has not only curated nuanced itineraries, but has done so combining her vast knowledge of each region with our interests and needs being met perfectly. With that, it is evident that Maria learns about her clients to create vacation packages that far exceed expectations. I won’t book with anyone else! GoWay has a gem that is irreplaceable! I highly recommend seeking Maria out for all your destination needs. Darleen
