Luxury Family Vacations in India
Steeped in history, culture and wildlife, India has much to offer a family on vacation. Children and parents will be mesmerised and enriched by the country’s sights, sounds, and tastes. Think bustling markets and tantalising street food of Mumbai and Kolkata, architectural wonders of temples and forts in Delhi and Rajasthan, dramatic mountain ranges in the north, wildlife safaris in central India, and cool beaches down south. Our Lightfoot Travel India specialists will put together a customisable itinerary that will cater to your family’s needs.
Trace India’s riveting history, culture and religion through its imposing fortresses, sacred temples, flamboyant palaces, and beautiful stepwells. Stay in a regal palace hotel, then change it up by spending nights on a houseboat in Kerala’s scenic backwaters, a beachside villa in Goa, or a luxury eco-friendly tented camp in a national park in Rajasthan. Animal-lovers can go on tiger-spotting safaris or spend an afternoon at an elephant sanctuary.
