More and more people are bringing children to India. Be sure to plan ahead and involve your children in planning your trip. If you are going hiking with your children, you might want to "train" at home, to see how long your they are prepared to walk before getting tired or asking to be carried. Most treks require people to be able to walk up and downhill for four to five hours a day. Many hotels in India offer free or inexpensive baby-sitting service. Some parts of India are probably not the most ideal place to travel with young children, especially if you plan to go to high altitude places such as Leh. The terrain is rugged, and amenities are scarce. Flying If your children are two or older ask about children's airfares. As a general rule, infants under two not occupying a seat fly at greatly reduced fares or even for free. When booking confirm carry-on allowances if you're traveling with infants. In general, for babies charged 10% of the adult fare, you are allowed one carry-on bag and a collapsible stroller; if the flight is full the stroller may have to be checked or you may be limited to less. Experts agree that it's a good idea to use safety seats aloft for children weighing less than 40 pounds. Air-lines set their own policies: U.S. carriers usually require that the child be ticketed, even if he or she is young enough to ride free, since the seats must be strapped into regular seats. Do check your airline's policy about using safety seats during takeoff and landing. And since safety seats are not allowed just everywhere in the plane, get your seat assignments early. When reserving, request children's meals or a freestanding bassinet if you need them. But note that bulk-head seats, where you must sit to use the bassinet, may lack an overhead bin or storage space on the floor. Lodging Most hotels in India, allow children under a certain age to stay in their parents' room at no extra charge, or for half the cost. Still others charge them as extra adults; be sure to ask about the cut off age for children's discounts. Precautions Any precautions recommended for adults are doubly recommended for children. Only drink bottled water; be prepared for changes in food preparation; and watch closely for altitude sickness. Supplies & Equipment
Pack things to keep your children busy while traveling. For children of reading age, bring books from home; locally, literature for kids in English is hard to find.
