Rupali,
What an informative post!! Well done!!
In your opinion, what is the youngest age a child can ride an elephant or a camel in the attractions you mentioned above?
Thanks for reading the post. My son had taken an elephant ride when he was about 8 or 9 years old. And I have seen many younger kids riding on camels. But I think every child is different so you need to check if your kid is comfortable or not.
Thanks for your feedback
As well as the more renowned youve highlighted some lesser knowns worth the visit. But in truth, Indian’s culture, food, varied landscapes is worth the visit, young or old.
Absolutely second that. India’s unity in diversity is something that is worth seeing, visiting & celebrating.
Some places in India are a real gem & the architecture is just marvellous & they date back to the times when they did not have modern equipment to build these lovely temples and other buildings.
Varanasi looks beautiful. Thank you for sharing all these wonderful parts of India, especially experiencing it with children.
