Sri Lanka in July/August (Summer Holidays)
For an unforgettable summer holiday, Sri Lanka is perfect. The east coast is in its peak season with perfect weather and flat seas for beach days as well as little-known wildlife safaris and cultural explorations. However, Sri Lanka works island-wide at this time of year - from wildlife safaris in Wilpattu and ancient cities like Polonnaruwa, this time of year is perfect for a family adventure. With so much variety in a relatively small island; wildlife, culture and some of the most fun and friendly people you’ll ever meet, Sri Lanka in the summer will be a holiday your family will remember forever.
Thailand at Christmas
Thailand is a magical destination during the Christmas
holidays. With great weather across most of the country, your family can enjoy
the best of both worlds: cultural adventures and beach relaxation for an
unforgettable Christmas with a difference. Explore Bangkok’s bustling markets,
visit the temples of Chiang Mai, and then head south to the islands for some
downtime by the sea. Christmas in Thailand offers an exotic escape, complete
with cultural festivities and family-friendly resorts.
South India in April (Easter Break)
South India is a wonderful Easter getaway, offering a mix of
culture, nature, and relaxation. As it is slightly out of season, it is a great
value over Easter, but still a great time to explore Kerala’s landscapes and
backwaters or visit the hill stations of Tamil Nadu to escape the heat. Your
family can enjoy boat rides through the peaceful backwaters, wildlife spotting
in national parks, and cultural experiences in local villages. South India
during the Easter break offers a laid-back yet enriching holiday for families.
India is an incredible eye-opening adventure for you to have together as a
family and Kerala in Easter is a great time and place start.
