Travel with Children
Fascinating and thrilling, South India can be every bit as exciting for children as
it is for their wide-eyed parents. The scents, sights and sounds of this part of the
country will inspire and challenge young enquiring minds, and with careful pre-
paration and vigilance, a lifetime of vivid memories can be sown.
Best Regions for Kids
Goa
Palm-fringed, white-sand beaches and inexpensive food make Goa an ideal choice for family holidays. If you're
looking to stay for awhile, there's a good selection of apartments and homey guesthouses on offer to suit all
budgets.
Kerala
Houseboat adventures, surf beaches, Arabian sea sunsets, snake boat races, ayurvedic massage and elephant fest-
ivals. From the Ghats down to the coast, Kerala offers action and relaxation in equal doses.
Maharashtra
Maharashtra has some fabulous options for kids. The mysterious Ajanta and Ellora Caves have plenty of appeal,
promising to stir young and old imaginations alike. Meanwhile, a short boat ride to Elephanta Island, just off Mum-
bai - to see its wonderful rock-cut temples - makes for a relaxing half-day expedition.
