What is the typical length of family tours starting from Bangalore?

Most family tours from Bangalore last between 2 and 15 days, with most people choosing 6-9 day trips. The 6-day Golden Triangle tour to Delhi and Agra is really popular with families, and so is the 9-day Temple Trail through Kerala's backwaters. If you want to see more, there's a 15-day South India tour that covers all the main highlights. As one traveler told us: "The 6-day Golden Triangle tour was perfect for our family, giving us enough time to explore each destination without rushing."

What are the most family-friendly destinations included in tours starting from Bangalore?

From Bangalore, you can visit great spots that kids love, like Mysore's beautiful palace, the mountain trains in Ooty, and Dubare Elephant Camp in Coorg. One of our travelers said: "the mix of activities at destinations like Nagarhole National Park for wildlife viewing and Alleppey's backwaters for houseboat stays." You'll stay in nice, comfortable places like The Windflower Resort in Coorg or Hotel Keys Select in Kochi that work well for families.

What is the typical travel pace for family tours departing from Bangalore?

These tours are planned with families in mind, so you'll usually spend 2-3 nights in each place. You'll do about 4-6 hours of sightseeing each day with plenty of breaks, and the drives between cities are usually 3-4 hours. For example, it takes about 3 hours to get from Bangalore to Mysore (140 km/87 miles), and you'll stay in nice hotels like The Pride or Fortune Select JP Cosmos. Our travelers often mention that "the well-planned itineraries provide enough rest time between activities."

What are the best months for family tours starting from Bangalore?

The nicest weather is from October through March, when temperatures stay between 68-82°F (20-28°C). Many of our travelers say "visiting during December-January for perfect weather conditions" works best. You can still take tours in summer (April-June) - the hotels like ITC Gardenia Bangalore and The Windflower Resorts have good air conditioning, and so do all the vehicles you'll travel in.

How long does it typically take to travel between Bangalore and popular family destinations?

From Bangalore, you can drive to Mysore in 3.5 hours (184 km/114 miles), to Ooty in 6 hours (280 km/174 miles), and to Chennai in 5-6 hours (350 km/217 miles). For longer trips, like going to Delhi, you can fly - that takes about 2.5 hours. One of our travelers said: "The journey times were manageable with kids, especially with comfortable vehicles and regular stops."

What are some family-friendly festivals or events around Bangalore that tours can incorporate?

You'll find fun festivals all year round. In October, there's Dussehra with big parades at Mysore Palace. January brings Sankranti where everyone flies kites, and in spring there's the Bangalore Karaga Festival. One family who traveled with us said: "Timing our tour with the Dussehra festival at Mysore Palace was magical for the whole family, especially the illuminated palace and cultural performances."
