India is great, though I've never been with kids, I saw many families with kids. I'd say that traveling to India with kids will require more prep than if you were to go to Europe.

India isn't truly just any country but another world in the positive sense of the world so, if you've never been before it'll be a shock to the system, especially if you're used to your luxuries back home.I can tell you!

Health-wise, the best bet is to speak to your GP who will advise on more on things like vaccinations you'll need like tetanus, measles, etc.

Besides all of these, India is home to very friendly people and it's an excellent place for a cheap family vacation.

Accommodation, food, and attractions are fairly cheap, and getting cash is not a problem any more, so you can use your creditcard for paying things.

This is just the tip of the iceberg...if you need more info just tell me...:)

India is surely a nice place to be but there are the very obvious risks such as dehydration depending where and when you go to India. Saying this, if you have not been to India before, I would not suggest taking a child. Believe me, India is not like the US... it’s another world, and by that I mean comforts that we take for granted in the western world.

I'd also be worried for things like malaria and underlined health conditions that your kids may have (some you may be aware of) which lay dormant until activated like asthma which would be easily triggered in India.

You are looking for travel in India with children. No problem you can travel with your children. Here you will explore many tourist destinations such as Mumbai, Bangalore, Punjab, Delhi, Rajasthan....

it's not an issue... most of the tourist destinations in India are family oriented... you can avoid the extreme heat of May June.... rest should be fine...

Well there are lots of family tourist destinations in India Like Agra, Rajsthan, Kerala, Shimla and many more. If you are really worried about your health and do not want to fall sick then do not try road side food an use filtered water always.

Definitely dont drink or brush your teeth with tap water. Bottled water is available everywhere so you can buy that or else boil water to drink. Also, don't bother with a stroller because most streets in India are so crowded and bumpy in some areas that it will be impossible to navigate with one.

There are so many places in India,you can travel and feel great about it.Each and every place is beautiful and some of the places are like historical places and they are very informative for the G.K of your children.

if you're traveling with kids don't forget to be be up to date on the immunization shots, particularly against Hepatitis A which is usually transmitted through food, liquids etc. Also, carry a medicine kit which include diarrhea tablets, cough syrup, mosquito repellent, and a mosquito net.
