Absolutely sure? I expect the next feeling is that you really have no idea where to start. What are the best places to visit in India with your family? Where should we go? What should we do?<\/p>\n<p>Deciding where to go is a challenge for any<a href=\"https:\/\/www.experiencetravelgroup.com\/india\"> holiday to India<\/a>: it is an entire subcontinent feels like ten countries in one. When you have completely opposing viewpoints, comfort thresholds and ideas as to what constitutes a good holiday (i.e. you are a normal family!) then the task becomes so much tougher.<\/p>\n<p>Tough, but not impossible. This is where the experts on the travel team here at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.experiencetravelgroup.com\/\">Experience Travel Group<\/a> (ETG) come in. They\u2019ve been there, sometimes even with kids in tow and more importantly, they\u2019ve listened to our community of curious travellers who\u2019ve given their input after their own trips.<\/p>\n<p>So here are a few of the best places to visit in<a href=\"https:\/\/www.experiencetravelgroup.com\/india\/holidays\/family-holidays-travel\"> India with your family.<\/a> Of course, this is completely subjective &#8211; these are a few of my favourites, based on my experiences travelling with my family. If you\u2019d like your own consultation and suggestions designed to suit your family, then don\u2019t hesitate to get in contact with one of our India Travel Team today. Our team might even suggest that India isn\u2019t for you this time, and help you come up with a destination that will give your family what you need out of this experience.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;50px&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;15031&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2>Visiting Kerala with your family<\/h2>\n<p>OK, so it\u2019s a little bit obvious, but <a href=\"https:\/\/www.experiencetravelgroup.com\/india\/holiday\/family-kerala-vacation\">Kerala<\/a> really is an incredible destination for a family. It\u2019s got beaches, of course, and the evocative channels of the backwaters (a word of warning: an overnight backwaters cruise en famille can get a little dull &#8211; opt for day cruises instead). But what really sets Kerala apart is the soft and gentle pace of life, the gorgeous scenery everywhere you look and the immersive wildlife experiences inland. Not to mention that getting around is fairly easy, the hotels are good quality and the food is superb (and more family-friendly than the rich, glutinous feasts served to tourists in the north). Altogether, this makes Kerala the ultimate for a family trip. Weather works perfectly in the Winter and April holidays too and it is an option for an extended half term, if you are lucky enough to be able to take such a thing.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;15px&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;14311&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2>Visiting Rajasthan with your family<\/h2>\n<p>Forts. Palaces. Tigers. Maharajas. Tribes. It\u2019s professionally exotic, stupidly engaging and above all, fun. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.experiencetravelgroup.com\/india\/holiday\/family-adventure-in-rajasthan\">Rasjasthan<\/a> is where you come to experience peak India, where the absolute majesty and glory of this crossroads of civilisation is brought home. It\u2019s an assault on the senses, but can be surprisingly peaceful too, if you know where to look. The countryside is astoundingly beautiful and we\u2019d love to help you find untouched pockets to explore.<\/p>\n<p>The key to Rajasthan is to plan properly. This is crucial advice: the gap between the greatest holiday of your life and a full-on family breakdown is a narrow one (think dodgy drives, touristy experiences and hectic schedules). Talk to our experts before embarking. This is not a sales pitch: it\u2019s a public health warning![\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;15px&#8221;][vc_column_text]<!-- start of ETG Country Guide CTA --> <style type='text\/css'>.country-dnload{margin:100px auto;max-width:1180px;background:#f7f4ee;width:100%;display:flex;flex-direction:row;justify-content:space-evenly}.cdnload-cutout{width:37%;max-width:320px;display:flex;flex-direction:column;background-color:#f8f4ee;padding:30px;float:none;margin:0;position:relative}#main .country-dnload .cdnload-cutout :first-child,.country-dnload .cdnload-cutout img{margin-bottom:-100px;margin-top:-90px!important}.country-dnload .cdnload-info{width:63%;padding:40px;display:flex;flex-direction:column;flex-wrap:nowrap;align-content:center;justify-content:center;align-items:center}.country-dnload .cdnload-info h3{margin-top:10px;margin-bottom:20px;text-align:center;font-size:23px;font-weight:600}.country-dnload .cdnload-info p{color:#051d3d;text-align:center;-webkit-font-smoothing:antialiased;margin-bottom:40px}.clear-button.gold{border:2px solid #b19657;color:#b19657;font-weight:600;max-width:initial;display:inline-block;padding:10px 20px}.clear-button.gold:hover{text-decoration:none;background:#b19657;color:#fff}.cdnload-info a.clear-button.gold{line-height:1em;padding:15px 20px 15px;width:auto}@media (max-width:767px){.cdnload-cutout,.cdnload-info,.country-dnload .cdnload-info{width:100%!important}.country-dnload{flex-direction:column;margin:120px 0 50px}.cdnload-cutout{align-items:flex-start}.cdnload-cutout img{width:100%;margin-bottom:-50px!important}.cdnload-info h3{font-size:20px}}<\/style>\n        <div class='country-dnload'>\n            <a class='cdnload-cutout' href='https:\/\/info.experiencetravelgroup.com\/travel-guide-to-india'>\n                <img src='\/static_files\/new23\/guides\/India-Country-Dnload.png' alt='Travel Guide to India'>\n            <\/a>\n            <div class='cdnload-info'>\n                <h3>CURIOUS TRAVELLER'S GUIDE TO INDIA<\/h3>\n                <p>\n        Want to know more?

You might take an overnight train into the Himalayan foothills, kayak down the river Ganges or walk in the footsteps of the Beatles with a trip to spiritual Rishikesh. Jim Corbett National Park offers a chance to spot elephants, monkeys, sambar deer and if you\u2019re very lucky, the elusive tiger.
