Travelling with children, a disability or as an LGBTQ+ traveller
What to keep in mind in India.
With children. Indians adore children, and you will be helped everywhere. Plan short travel days, avoid the hottest months and be strict about drinking water, hand washing and unpeeled fruit. Discuss vaccinations and malaria prevention with a travel clinic well in advance; advice for young children sometimes differs.
With a disability. Pavements, trains and older buildings are rarely wheelchair accessible, but modern airports, metros and international hotels are. A car with a driver is affordable and makes a lot possible. Specialised tour operators know accessible routes and hotels.
As an LGBTQ+ traveller. Sex between people of the same sex has not been a criminal offence in India since 2018, but same-sex marriage is not recognised and society is conservative outside the big cities. Public displays of affection are unusual for straight couples too. The Dutch travel advice covers this separately.
