Bespoke Family Holidays in India

For those who go further, together
India might not be the first country that springs to mind when you think of a family holiday. We're determined to change that. We think it's a great country, like nowhere else on Earth, and a place that can offer so much to any family – above all, unforgettable memories that remain long after the children have flown the nest.

Why Choose ETG for Your Family Holiday in India? Why Choose ETG for Your Family Holiday in India?

Why Choose ETG for Your Family Holiday in India?

1. Short on time? We’ve got you. Life’s busy—we know this only too well. Leave the planning to our experts, so you can focus on the fun.

2. Designed by parents, for parents. We’ve explored India with our own kids, so we know what works for families—and what to avoid.

3. The perfect balance of adventure and downtime. Dive headfirst into a new culture all together. Keep your teens engaged with hands-on experiences (and stop them scrolling on their phones) while you steal a quiet moment.

4. Safe, seamless, and stress-free. Our expert guides, smooth logistics, and carefully chosen hotels allow you to properly switch off and breathe a sigh of relief.

5. Magical moments that turn into memories. Watch your kids embrace new experiences, step outside their comfort zones (with our expert guidance), and—shockingly—actually talk to you. These are the moments that bring families closer.

THE BEST TIMES TO GO ON A FAMILY HOLIDAY IN INDIA

THE BEST TIMES TO GO ON A FAMILY HOLIDAY IN INDIA

Surprisingly, the latter half of the school summer holiday is an excellent time to visit Rajasthan – it’s 'off-season' so you’ll benefit from great rates and few crowds.

Christmas is prime time to visit Kerala and Rajasthan, when the weather is gorgeous (but it can get chilly at night, so pack layers).

At Easter, Uttarakhand is your best bet – as is Rajasthan, where you can benefit from stonking good value and up your chances of spotting wonderful wildlife.

For a deeper dive, browse our seasonal guide to India.

THE BEST PLACES TO GO ON A FAMILY HOLIDAY IN INDIA

THE BEST PLACES TO GO ON A FAMILY HOLIDAY IN INDIA

In our eyes, the best destinations in India for families are Rajasthan for glorious forts, palaces, tigers, and arts and crafts – like kite flying and turban tying, not just the classic block printing.

Kerala for a more low-key holiday that’ll give you time to relax and connect together.

Uttarakhand in the Himalayas for a proper off-the-beaten-track adventure.

But there are plenty of other places in India that are great for all ages... almost too many to list.

Sometimes, it's easier just to speak to a specialist, so please feel free to get in touch at whatever stage you are with planning your luxury holiday in India.

"We spent two fabulous weeks in Kerala getting to know a little about India, its culture and religions. Truly unforgettable family holiday... enjoyed by the whole family from age 6 to 85."

Cecilia

"Outstanding experiences in Rajasthan. ETG always find the coolest places to stay and the most interesting trips and tours, you really feel like you get to know the place you are visiting."

Michelle

"New experiences and old favourites in India. A well-planned, varied experience with excellent prior planning and local knowledge. Very interesting, different hotels. The local drivers and guides made us feel welcome and at home in their communities."

Colin

THE FINEST FAMILY-FRIENDLY HOTELS IN INDIA

India is full of hotels that are fun for all the family. It takes an expert to cherry-pick the best of the bunch (including those with a pool – an absolute essential when travelling with children). Here are a few of our favourites: from fabled forts, where royal hosts will take you under their wing, to safari lodges, primed for thrilling wildlife encounters:
