The Young – Discover India Through Their Eyes
Travelling to India with children offers a unique opportunity for them to learn, explore, and grow in ways that traditional classrooms can’t provide. From vibrant landscapes to cultural experiences, India is a treasure trove for young minds eager to absorb new perspectives.
Did you notice that in the Jawai, children can engage with nature firsthand, observing wildlife in their natural habitats and understanding the importance of conservation? The awe of seeing leopards roaming free and the excitement of participating in nature walks instil a deep respect for the environment.
While at Kanha National Park, little rangers can accompany expert naturalists to learn about the diverse flora and fauna of the region. Through activities tailored to their age, kids are encouraged to develop a curiosity for wildlife and understand the importance of preserving these ecosystems. The interactive experience educates and ignites a passion for nature that can last a lifetime.
For those interested in art and history, visiting Mumbai’s art galleries, such as the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre, offers children a chance to explore India’s rich artistic heritage. Through guided tours and hands-on workshops, young travellers can learn about the evolution of Indian art, from ancient traditions to modern expressions. These experiences foster creativity and encourage children to appreciate the cultural nuances that shape India’s identity.
India’s diversity extends to culinary experiences, where children can participate in cooking classes that introduce them to the vibrant flavours of Indian cuisine. From learning to make traditional dishes to understanding the cultural significance of food, these activities provide a sensory exploration of India’s culinary landscape.
Whether exploring historical sites, engaging with local communities, or participating in conservation efforts, children have countless opportunities to learn and grow during their travels in India. The country’s rich tapestry of experiences allows them to see the world through a different lens, fostering empathy, curiosity, and a deeper understanding of the world around them.
And so a trip to India with the young goes on!

Chasing the Monsoon Again: Why Monsoon has such a big craze in India?
As I set off on this journey across Kerala, I felt the spirit of adventure that had been inspired by Alexander Frater’s Chasing the Monsoon. The prospect of chasing the rains in this land rich in history and culture fascinated me. I began in Cochin, where the ancient port city still whispered tales of the Silk Route, where merchants from far-flung lands once exchanged spices and stories.
Walking through the narrow lanes of Fort Kochi, I stopped at a small eatery recommended by a local. The aroma of freshly cooked fish curry filled the air as I engaged in a lively conversation with the owner, an elderly man who had seen the city change over decades but held onto the stories of old traders who once docked at its shores.
“Traveling through the monsoon is like stepping into a world where time flows differently, where the rain becomes a bridge between the past and present, connecting us to the stories of those who came before.”
