Houseboats, elephants and gentle pacing, and why Kerala works for all ages.
Kerala is one of the gentlest introductions to India for children. Distances are short, roads are good, and hosts are unfailingly warm with young travellers.
A night on a houseboat is usually the trip highlight. Add a spice garden walk, a Kathakali make-up demonstration and an afternoon learning to cook.
Build in beach time at the end. Two or three nights on the coast lets everyone stop moving before the flight home.
