Discover the Heritage of Rajasthan

Rajasthan, the 'Land of Kings', is a must-visit during your India family vacations. Journey through its historic palaces and forts, each narrating tales of heroism and regal splendour. Families can explore the Amber Fort in Jaipur or enjoy a tranquillizing boat ride on Lake Pichola in Udaipur. Children will adore riding camels in the Thar Desert, immersing themselves in the mesmerizing rhythm of the desert lifestyle.

Experience the Serenity of Kerala

For families seeking a more serene escape, Kerala offers lush landscapes and calm, inviting backwaters. Known as 'God’s Own Country', it provides a rich mix of culture, nature, and relaxation. Cruise through its network of tranquil backwaters on a traditional kettuvallam (houseboat), savour the piquant flavours of a Keralan meal, and relax on some of India’s most beautiful beaches. Visit Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary, where kids can delight in spotting elephants and other wildlife amidst verdant surroundings.

Unwind in the Goan Sun

Famed for its beaches, Goa is perfect for family vacations to India. Its golden sands and vibrant culture create an exciting playground for all ages. Engage in water sports, explore colonial architecture, or simply unwind by the Arabian Sea as the sun sets in a riot of colours.

Adventure Awaits in the Himalayas

The Himalayan region offers family adventures filled with picturesque trails and stunning vistas. During trips to India, families can engage in gentle treks through the lush valleys of Himachal Pradesh or enjoy thrilling activities like paragliding over the scenic landscape of Manali. For a winter wonderland experience, Shimla's toy train ride affords breathtaking views around every bend.

Taste the Flavours of India

India's cuisine is as diverse as its culture, offering an array of flavours that are bound to captivate the taste buds of every family member. From the rich, buttery dishes of the north to the spicy and aromatic dishes of the south, food plays a crucial role in the cultural tapestry of India. Don't miss out on teaching the kids to make traditional roti or sampling street foods like pani puri and dosa from bustling markets.

Immerse in Culture and Traditions

Indian culture celebrates diversity through its festivals, music, and dance. During India family vacations, participate in a local festival like Diwali, the festival of lights, or Holi, a riot of colours. Experience the rhythmic beats of Kathakali in Kerala or the intricate patterns of Rajasthani folk dance. These cultural immersions provide a deeper understanding and appreciation of India's rich heritage.

Comprehensive Travel Tips

Planning family vacations to India requires some thoughtful consideration. Choose destinations that cater to all ages. India offers plenty of family-friendly accommodations, from heritage hotels to luxurious resorts. Prioritize safety when trying street food, and always carry bottled water.

What I love most about visiting India is how alive everything feels. The colours, the food, the people. Every place has its own vibe and story. One moment you’re in a quiet temple, the next you’re in a bustling street market. It’s chaotic in the best way

We went on a highly customized comprehensive (though quick tour) of England and a bit of Scotland through Goway. Ingrid Aird did an amazing job of planning and arranging every detail with her deep experience, insight, thoughtfulness and creativity, tuning into the needs of each traveler; and she did so even though our decision to travel was rather spontaneous and last minute! Our family had the best time! We look forward to working with Ingrid and Goway again!Vilja Breiling

I can't tell you enough how much I love to work with Callie. She is a life saver and I love how attentive she is. Every time I give her an itinerary for a client- she really knocks it out of the park with the proposal. If there are any issues- she is on it right away. Her work ethic is outstanding.Michelle Labarca

I had the pleasure of working with Amelia on a booking for a family of 4 to Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka. She executed everything perfectly, was attentive to needs and the family was over the top happy with their vacation. She was quick to answer questions and provide helpful feedback. Highly recommended!Jessie Williams

We were trying to navigate Swiss Travel Center to book a 10 day train trip through Switzerland. It was exactly what we wanted but navigating their site was extremely difficult for us. Goway Travel picked up on our plight and put us in contact with Jacqueline Fagooli, one of their agents. From there on everything was so smooth. Their efficiency, communication, and thoroughness were beyond our expectations. The trip was fabulous and kudos to Jacqueline and Goway for their help in making it so.Carolyn McCormack

The destination specialist I've worked with (Kim Rawlings) has provided exceptional service. She is very knowledgeable of her region and everything they have to offer. She is very prompt in her communication and follow-up. She listens and is very attentive to my client's needs and wants. Kim's personality makes one feel like they've known each other for years. If GoWay had a customer service model, Kim is it.T. Jackson, Tribe Trek Travel
