Family Tour Packages from Ahmedabad

Best family destinations by family type

Families with children under 10

Short flights, one or two hotel changes at most, a pool, and food the child already knows. Our picks: Goa (1 h 20 min flight, resort with kids' pool, water sports on Baga or Candolim), Kerala (Munnar tea gardens, Thekkady elephant camp and one houseboat night – children love the boat), Dubai (about 3 hours non-stop; Dubai Aquarium, Legoland, Global Village, desert safari camp), Singapore (Universal Studios, S.E.A. Aquarium, Night Safari, Gardens by the Bay – everything by metro), and Mount Abu or Udaipur for a first drive-holiday under 6 hours from Ahmedabad.

Families with teenagers

Teenagers want to do things, not see things. Thailand (Phuket water sports, Phi Phi speedboat, Bangkok night markets, Safari World), Bali (Waterbom park, Nusa Penida, Mount Batur sunrise trek, surf lesson), Himachal (Solang Valley zipline and paragliding, Atal Tunnel to Sissu, river crossing in Kullu), Andaman (scuba and sea-walk at Havelock, Radhanagar beach, Cellular Jail light show), Kashmir (Gulmarg gondola, pony rides in Pahalgam, shikara on Dal Lake, snow in winter) and Ladakh for families with teens over 14 who are fit.

Three generations – children, parents and grandparents

The rule here is no drive over four hours, hotels with lifts, a free afternoon every second day, and Gujarati or at least pure-veg dinners. Kerala (short hops, mild food, Guruvayur temple add-on), Kashmir (one base in Srinagar with day trips to Gulmarg and Pahalgam), Dubai (one hotel for the whole stay, wheelchair access everywhere, Gujarati thali in Bur Dubai), Singapore (compact, clean, Little India for meals), Rajasthan (Udaipur–Jodhpur–Jaisalmer by road from Ahmedabad with our own vehicle and driver), and Europe as a private family trip – your own coach or van, hotels near Indian restaurants, Jain meals arranged – which many extended families book for a 60th or 70th birthday celebration.

Family trip budget from Ahmedabad – per person bands (2026)

Per adult, twin or triple sharing, including return flights from Ahmedabad where the destination is flown, hotels with breakfast, transfers and listed sightseeing; excluding visa, lunches and dinners (unless listed) and entry tickets not listed. Children aged 5–11 sharing the parents' room with an extra bed are usually charged 60–75% of the adult price; children under 5 pay only the airfare and any ticketed attractions.

Family packages on this page start under ₹10,000 per person for drive-holidays from Ahmedabad and under ₹25,000 for a 4-night flown holiday in the shoulder season. Flights are the swing factor: a family of four flying to Kerala in Diwali week can pay ₹20,000 more in airfare than the same family in the first week of December.

Planning calendar for Gujarat families – May vacation and Diwali

Every family trip we plan is private – your own dates, your own vehicle and driver, your own pace. Extended families and friend groups of 10–40 people travel together as a private group on their own dates to Kashmir, Himachal, Kerala, Dubai, Singapore, Thailand and Europe, with a Tempo Traveller or coach, Gujarati dinners arranged and one consultant handling the whole party. May and Diwali dates for large families should be locked 8–10 weeks ahead.

Hotels for families – child policy, extra beds and connecting rooms explained

This is where most family quotes go wrong, so here is how it actually works:

• Child age bands: most Indian hotels treat under-5 as free (sharing parents' bed, no extra breakfast), 5–11 as "child with bed" or "child without bed", and 12+ as an adult. International hotels often use under-2, 2–11 and 12+. We quote with the correct band so the hotel does not surprise you at check-in.
• Extra bed vs no bed: "child without bed" means your child shares your bed and pays only for breakfast. An extra bed (rollaway or sofa bed) adds ₹800–2,500 per night in India and more abroad. Most rooms allow 2 adults + 1 child with extra bed; 2 adults + 2 children usually needs a family room or two rooms.
• Connecting or interconnecting rooms: two rooms with a door between them. Hotels rarely guarantee them online; we request them in writing and choose hotels we know have them when you travel with grandparents or older children.
• Family rooms and suites: Dubai, Singapore and Thailand have many 4-person family rooms; Indian hill stations have fewer, so in Manali or Munnar we often book two adjacent rooms or a cottage.
• Kid-friendly basics we check: a pool with a shallow section, early-dinner timing, a lift (essential for grandparents), parking for your own vehicle on drive-holidays, and hot water in hill stations.
• Pure-veg and Jain food: in Gujarat, Rajasthan, Mount Abu and Himachal pure-veg hotels are easy. In Kerala, Kashmir, Andaman, Dubai, Singapore and Thailand we confirm Jain or pure-veg meals with the hotel or arrange dinners at Gujarati and Indian restaurants, and put it in your voucher.

Travelling with grandparents – pacing and comfort

• Drives under 4 hours and a stop every 90 minutes. We avoid Munnar's Top Station road, the Pahalgam–Chandanwari pony track and night drives.
• One base, day trips: in Kashmir we keep Srinagar as the base for Gulmarg and Sonmarg; in Dubai one hotel for the whole stay; in Rajasthan two nights in each city.
• Hotels with lifts and ground-floor rooms requested in writing; western toilets confirmed in hill-station homestays.
• Wheelchair assistance pre-booked at Ahmedabad airport and at the destination; it is free on Indian carriers and most international airlines if requested 48 hours ahead.
• Medicines and insurance: carry prescriptions; we add travel insurance with senior-citizen cover on international trips.
• Temple add-ons: Guruvayur with Kerala, Somnath–Dwarka with a Gujarat trip, Vaishno Devi with Kashmir, Golden Temple with Himachal – a short darshan keeps grandparents happiest.
