Traveling to the mountains with young children can seem daunting. However, with the right planning and support, a family trip to Shimla and Manali can be an unforgettable adventure for kids of all ages.
Peace-of-Mind Family Holidays in the Hills
Kids love the mountains—from seeing snow for the first time in Kufri to riding horses and cable cars in Solang Valley. To ensure a smooth trip, choose travel options that match your family's pace. A private cab is essential, allowing you to stop for breaks, snacks, and restroom visits whenever needed.
At Smile Holiday Makers, we prioritize family travel. We charge absolutely nothing for children under the age of 5. All our packages are 100% customizable, allowing you to choose child-friendly hotels and slow down the pace of sightseeing.
5 Essential Tips for Traveling with Kids
- 1. Travel via Private Cab - Skip shared buses. Our package provides a dedicated private car for all sightseeing, so your kids can travel comfortably without rushing.
- 2. Stay in Family-Friendly Hotels - We book 3-star luxury hotels with spacious rooms, central heating, and menus that cater to children.
- 3. Pack Motion Sickness Remedies - Winding mountain roads can make children feel sick. Carry appropriate medications and ask our certified drivers to drive slowly around bends.
- 4. Keep Warm Clothes in the Cab - Temperatures drop quickly as you climb. Always keep fleece jackets or woolens in the car for quick access.
- 5. Plan Active Excursions Carefully - Choose gentle trails like the walk to Jugni Waterfall or the cable car at Solang Valley, which are perfect for little feet.
