Planning a trip for the whole family is a different job from planning one for yourself. One child gets carsick after an hour, one parent can’t manage more than a few steps at a time, and someone always wants a pool while someone else wants a fort. Good family tour packages in India take that juggling off your plate: one price, one plan and a driver who knows the roads.
This guide explains what a package should include, the main types, how to choose, and 24 destinations with short itineraries, best months and realistic per-person prices. Treat the prices as a budgeting guide. Your final quote will depend on dates, hotel category and group size.
What Are Family Tour Packages in India?
A family tour package is a bundled holiday that combines accommodation, local transport, sightseeing and usually some meals into one price, planned around a group that includes children, parents or grandparents. Unlike a backpacker’s itinerary, it puts comfort first: shorter driving days, rooms that fit everyone and activities that work across ages.
Most family holiday packages in India include:
- A stay in family rooms, connecting rooms or a resort cottage
- Daily breakfast, and often dinner (check the meal plan)
- A private cab or tempo traveller with driver for transfers and sightseeing
- Sightseeing as per the itinerary, with a guide where needed
- Pickup and drop at the airport, railway station or bus stand
- Taxes, tolls, parking and driver allowance
Not usually included: flights or train tickets to the destination, monument and safari fees, lunches, adventure activities, tips and personal spending. Read this list before comparing quotes. A lower price often just means more has been left out.
Types of Family Holiday Packages in India
Packages differ in how they’re built, who they suit and what they cost. Knowing the categories stops you from comparing a shared-coach departure with a private, upgraded itinerary as if they were the same product.
| Package type | Best for | What you get | Cost per person per day |
|---|---|---|---|
| Budget family tour packages | Short trips, tight budgets | 2–3-star hotels, breakfast, cab or shared transfers | ₹2,000–3,500 |
| Standard (mid-range) | Most families | 3-star hotels, private cab, breakfast and dinner | ₹3,500–6,000 |
| Premium and luxury | Milestone trips, anniversaries | 4–5-star resorts, private guides, curated experiences | ₹6,000–12,000+ |
| Fixed-departure group tours | Families happy with set dates | Coach travel, tour manager, shared itinerary | ₹2,500–5,000 |
| Customised private packages | Toddlers, seniors, multigenerational groups | Hotels, pace and stops built around your family | Priced to your plan |
By theme, domestic tour packages for families fall into five groups: hill stations, beaches and backwaters, heritage and culture, wildlife, and pilgrimage. The destination section below follows the same order. By traveller, three variations matter most:
- Family tour packages with young children: drives under four or five hours, a hotel with a pool or lawn, one main activity a day.
- Family tour packages for senior citizens: lift or ground-floor rooms, no long treks, wheelchair or battery-car access and a rest day mid-trip.
- Multigenerational trips: connecting rooms and split-day options, so teenagers can go rafting while grandparents visit a temple.
If your family doesn’t fit a standard mould, we can create customised family tour packages that suit your preferences instead of forcing a fixed itinerary to work.
How to Choose the Right Family Tour Package
- Plan around the slowest traveller. Pick the destination and daily driving that your youngest or oldest member can handle comfortably.
- Fix a per-person budget first, then keep 10–15% aside for entry tickets, lunches and add-on activities.
- Match the month to the place. Goa in June and Ladakh in January are both poor choices, however good the deal looks.
- Read the itinerary for driving hours, not attractions. More than five or six hours on the road a day is tiring with children.
- Ask four questions before paying: What is the child policy? Which meal plan is included? Are the hotels named? What is the cancellation and refund schedule?
- Check who you are buying from. The Best Travel Agency in India for your family is the one that shows hotel names, a written inclusion list and a clear refund policy before you pay, not the one with the loudest discount.
For train legs, book your tickets as soon as the booking window opens, which is usually 60 days before travel. For hill routes, check road and weather advisories close to departure.
Best Family Tour Packages in India: 24 Destinations With Itineraries and Prices
Prices below are per person on twin or family sharing, for a standard three-star land package with breakfast, private cab and sightseeing.

Hill Station and Mountain Family Tour Packages
1. Manali Shimla Tour Package
Start in Shimla (2 nights) for Kufri and the Mall Road, then drive to Manali (3 nights) for Solang Valley, Hadimba Temple and the Atal Tunnel to Sissu. Cool weather and short activities make this an easy first hill trip with children. Rohtang Pass needs an advance permit and is snowbound in winter, so confirm access. Our Manali packages can be combined with Shimla or Chandigarh.
Places to visit: In Shimla, Jakhu Temple (keep snacks away from the monkeys), The Ridge and Christ Church. In Manali, Old Manali, Vashisht hot springs, Manu Temple and Van Vihar. Add Naggar Castle if you have time.
Duration: 5N/6D | Best time: Mar–Jun, Oct–Dec | Estimated price: ₹12,000–20,000 per person
2. Kashmir Tour Package
Spend 2 nights in Srinagar for shikara rides on Dal Lake and the Mughal gardens, 1 night in Gulmarg for the gondola, 1 night in Pahalgam for Betaab Valley, and a final Srinagar night, with Sonamarg as an optional day trip. A houseboat night is a hit with children. Tulips bloom in April and snow arrives around December. Check current travel advisories before booking a Kashmir family package.
Places to visit: Shankaracharya Temple, Nishat and Shalimar gardens, the Tulip Garden (April), Old Srinagar’s Jama Masjid, Aru Valley and the Thajiwas Glacier at Sonamarg.
Duration: 5N/6D | Best time: Apr–Oct | Estimated price: ₹18,000–30,000 per person
3. Leh Ladakh Tour Package
In a Leh Ladakh Tour Package, Leh (3 nights) comes first, purely to acclimatise, then Nubra Valley via Khardung La (2 nights) and Pangong Lake (1 night). Children enjoy the camel ride at Hunder dunes. Altitude is the real constraint: get a doctor’s opinion for young children and for seniors with heart or lung conditions. Inner Line Permits are needed, and your operator should arrange them.
Places to visit: Shanti Stupa, Leh Palace, Thiksey and Hemis monasteries, Magnetic Hill, the Indus–Zanskar confluence, Diskit Monastery in Nubra and the Hall of Fame museum in Leh.
Duration: 6N/7D | Best time: Jun–Sep | Estimated price: ₹24,000–38,000 per person
4. Darjeeling Gangtok Tour Package
From Bagdogra or New Jalpaiguri, head to Gangtok (3 nights) for Tsomgo Lake, MG Marg and Banjhakri Falls, then Darjeeling (3 nights) for the Tiger Hill sunrise, tea estates and the toy train joy ride. Tsomgo Lake needs a permit, which your operator should arrange. Roads are winding, so carry motion-sickness tablets. See our Darjeeling Gangtok packages.
Places to visit: Batasia Loop, Ghum Monastery, Happy Valley Tea Estate and the Himalayan Zoological Park in Darjeeling. Rumtek Monastery, Enchey Monastery, Hanuman Tok and Ganesh Tok in Gangtok.
Duration: 6N/7D | Best time: Mar–May, Oct–Dec | Estimated price: ₹14,000–24,000 per person

Shillong (2 nights) for Umiam Lake, Cherrapunji (2 nights) for Nohkalikai Falls and living root bridges, then Dawki and Mawlynnong (1 night) for the clear Umngot River. The double-decker root bridge at Nongriat means thousands of steps, so skip it with small children or elderly parents; the Riwai root bridge is far gentler. Pickups are from Guwahati or Shillong.
Places to visit: Elephant Falls, Shillong Peak, Ward’s Lake, Mawsmai Cave, Seven Sisters Falls and the clean village of Mawlynnong.
Duration: 5N/6D | Best time: Oct–May | Estimated price: ₹16,000–26,000 per person

Mysore (1 night) for the palace and Brindavan Gardens, Coorg (2 nights) for coffee estates, Abbey Falls and the Dubare elephant camp, then Ooty (2 nights) for the Botanical Garden, Doddabetta and the Nilgiri Mountain Railway. Drives from Bengaluru are easy, which makes this a dependable pick for families with grandparents.
Places to visit: Chamundi Hills and Mysore Zoo, Raja’s Seat and Namdroling Monastery in Coorg, then Ooty Lake, the Rose Garden and Pykara Lake.
Duration: 5N/6D | Best time: Oct–Jun | Estimated price: ₹11,000–18,000 per person

Duration: 4N/5D | Best time: Feb–Jun, Sep–Nov | Estimated price: ₹9,000–15,000 per person
Beach, Backwater and Island Family Packages
8. Kerala Tour Package
Kochi (1 night), Munnar (2 nights), Thekkady (1 night) and Alleppey (1 night) cover tea hills, the Periyar boat ride and a backwater houseboat at a pace toddlers and grandparents both cope with. Book a private houseboat registered with the state tourism department; shared cruises feel rushed. Monsoon is cheaper and greener, but rain can disrupt sightseeing. Explore our Kerala tour packages for options.
Places to visit: Fort Kochi’s Chinese fishing nets, Mattancherry Palace, Eravikulam National Park, Mattupetty Dam, Periyar spice plantations, a Kathakali show and Kumarakom Bird Sanctuary.
Duration: 5N/6D | Best time: Oct–Mar | Estimated price: ₹16,000–28,000 per person

Two nights in North Goa for Baga, Calangute and Fort Aguada, then one or two in South Goa for quieter Palolem or Colva and the Old Goa churches. Choose a resort with a pool; many children prefer it to the sea. Avoid 20 December to 2 January unless booked early, as rates and traffic both jump. In the monsoon, discounts are steep but water sports shut. Browse Goa family packages for more.
Places to visit: Basilica of Bom Jesus, Se Cathedral, Fontainhas in Panjim, Chapora Fort, Dudhsagar Falls and a sunset cruise on the Mandovi river.
Duration: 3N/4D | Best time: Nov–Feb | Estimated price: ₹8,000–16,000 per person
10. Andaman Tour Package
Port Blair (2 nights) for Cellular Jail and its light-and-sound show, Havelock or Swaraj Dweep (2 nights) for Radhanagar Beach and Elephant Beach snorkelling, and optionally Neil Island. Ferries run on fixed schedules, so keep a buffer day before your flight home. Glass-bottom boats and shallow snorkelling suit most children. Flights from the mainland are the biggest extra cost; see our Andaman packages.
Places to visit: Ross Island, North Bay, Corbyn’s Cove and the Samudrika Naval Marine Museum in Port Blair, then Kalapathar Beach, and Bharatpur Beach and the Natural Bridge on Neil.
Duration: 5N/6D | Best time: Oct–May | Estimated price: ₹18,000–32,000 per person

Jaipur (2 nights), Jodhpur (1), Jaisalmer (2) and Udaipur (2) suit families with older children who like forts: Mehrangarh in Jodhpur, a camel ride at the Sam Sand Dunes and a Lake Pichola boat ride. Distances are long; Jodhpur to Jaisalmer alone is about five hours, so ask about the vehicle as well as the hotels. View our Rajasthan family packages.
Places to visit: Jaipur’s City Palace and Bapu Bazaar, Umaid Bhawan Palace and Jaswant Thada in Jodhpur, Jaisalmer Fort and Patwon Ki Haveli, and Jagdish Temple in Udaipur.

Wildlife Family Tour Packages
17. Jim Corbett Nainital Tour Package
Two nights at Corbett for a jeep safari in Jhirna or Bijrani, then two in Nainital for boating on Naini Lake and the Snow View cable car. Tigers are never guaranteed. A first-timer usually sees deer, elephants and birds, and that is a good outcome. Main safari zones typically pause during the monsoon.
Places to visit: Corbett Museum at Kaladhungi, Garjia Devi Temple, Corbett Falls, then Naina Devi Temple, Eco Cave Gardens and Bhimtal Lake near Nainital.
Duration: 4N/5D | Best time: Nov–Jun | Estimated price: ₹10,000–17,000 per person

The park is closed roughly July to September and reopens around October. Sightings are often best in April–June when animals visit waterholes.
Places to visit: Ranthambore Fort with its Ganesh temple, Padam Talao, Rajbagh Talao and Surwal Lake, then Albert Hall Museum and Nahargarh Fort in Jaipur.
Duration: 3N/4D | Best time: Oct–Jun | Estimated price: ₹12,000–20,000 per person

Spend one night in Guwahati for Kamakhya Temple, then two nights at Kaziranga for jeep safaris across the Central (Kohora) and Western (Bagori) ranges, known for one-horned rhino sightings. Elephant-back safaris have limited seats, so book ahead. The park is open only from November to April; floods close it in the monsoon. See our Kaziranga packages.
Places to visit: Kohora, Bagori and Agoratoli ranges, the Kaziranga Orchid and Biodiversity Park, tea estates along the highway, and in Guwahati Kamakhya Temple, Umananda Island and the Assam State Zoo.

Duration: 4N/5D | Best time: Oct–Mar | Estimated price: ₹9,000–16,000 per person

Katra (2 nights) is the base. The yatra is roughly 12–13 km each way, but ponies, palanquins, battery cars and a Katra–Sanjichhat helicopter make it workable for seniors and children. Add Patnitop (1 night) for a hill break. Complete yatra registration before you go. Helicopter tickets are extra.
Places to visit: Ardhkuwari, Charan Paduka and Bhairon Temple on the yatra route, Baan Ganga at the start, Shiv Khori Cave near Katra, Nag Temple at Patnitop and Bahu Fort in Jammu on the way in.

The Uttarakhand tour circuit covers Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath and Badrinath, usually by road from Haridwar or Rishikesh: Barkot (2 nights), Uttarkashi (2), Guptkashi or Phata (2) and Badrinath (2). Yamunotri needs a trek of about 6 km from Janki Chatti and Kedarnath about 16 km from Gaurikund; ponies, palanquins and helicopters are available, and helicopter tickets are extra. Yatra registration is compulsory. It suits fit travellers, so get a doctor’s opinion for seniors and children. Temple dates change yearly and July–August brings landslide risk. See our Char Dham Yatra packages.

Best Time to Book Family Holiday Packages in India
The season can make a big difference when planning a family holiday in India. Check the weather forecast before finalising your travel dates and consider the best time to visit your chosen destination for a comfortable and enjoyable experience.
| Season | Go to | Avoid |
|---|---|---|
| Oct–Feb | Rajasthan, Golden Triangle, Kerala, Goa, Andaman, Gujarat, Varanasi, Kaziranga (from November) | Kashmir, Ladakh (too cold or closed) |
| Mar–Jun | Manali, Shimla, Kashmir, Darjeeling, Ooty, Coorg, Ladakh (from June), Char Dham (from May) | Plains such as Rajasthan and Varanasi (very hot) |
| Jul–Sep | Ladakh, Kerala (cheaper, lush), Meghalaya (rain spectacle) | Himachal and Uttarakhand hills including Char Dham, Andaman, safari parks (closed) |
How Much Do Family Tour Packages in India Cost?
Three things move the price more than the destination: season, hotel category and group size. A family of four sharing two adjoining rooms pays a different per-head rate from a couple. Ask for a quote that lists these costs, which are the ones families most often miss:
- Peak-season surcharge on festival weeks and school holidays
- Child policy: infants usually travel free, while children around 5–11 are charged with or without an extra bed. It varies by hotel.
- Entry and safari fees for places like the Taj Mahal, Ranthambore, Gir and Kaziranga
- Ropeways, gondolas and permits such as the Gulmarg gondola or Rohtang permit
- Houseboat or ferry upgrades in Kerala and the Andamans
- GST and card fees, which some quotes show separately
To keep costs sensible, travel in shoulder months (February–March and late September–October), book 45–60 days ahead, choose a well-reviewed three-star over a tired five-star, and cut one destination rather than rushing all of them.
Common Mistakes to Avoid When Booking a Family Holiday Package
- Packing in too many stops. Seven cities in seven days is a work trip, not a holiday. Two or three bases are plenty for most families.
- Choosing on price alone. A cheap quote often says “hotel or similar” and swaps in a weaker property. Ask for named hotels and recent reviews.
- Ignoring the vehicle. Five adults with luggage on a hill road need an SUV or tempo traveller, not a sedan.
- Leaving out ages. Quotes assume adults unless you say otherwise. Give children’s ages and any mobility limits upfront.
- Paying in full without refund terms. Get the cancellation schedule in writing before the advance.
Tips for Travelling With Kids and Senior Citizens
- Cap driving at five hours a day and add a buffer day before any flight home.
- Ask for lower-floor or lift-access rooms, and confirm it in writing.
- Carry ID for everyone. Hotels ask for ID even for children, so keep a school ID or birth certificate handy.
- Pack a small medical kit: ORS, motion-sickness tablets, regular prescriptions and copies of them. Take altitude medicine only on a doctor’s advice.
- Confirm meals in advance if you need Jain, vegetarian or child-friendly food, especially in remote places.
- Take travel insurance that includes medical and cancellation cover.

Final Thoughts
The right family holiday isn’t the most famous destination.
