Family Trip Planning Checklist Before You Book
Rooming, meals, pace, and documents — the questions worth answering before you pay a deposit.
Most post-booking friction comes from assumptions: twin beds vs triple sharing, vegetarian meal availability, or whether a toddler counts as a full seat on a tempo traveller. Clarify these upfront.
Traveller list & documents
Full names as on ID, ages of children, and any medical considerations. For flights or trains included in the package, spelling errors are costly to fix later.
Pace & daily schedule
With seniors or young kids, cap sightseeing at one major stop per half-day. Ask for approximate drive times between cities — maps apps underestimate mountain or monsoon roads.
Payments & cancellation
Understand deposit amount, balance due date, and cancellation charges per hotel and transport policy. Festival and peak-season bookings are usually stricter.
Quick tips
- •Request a day-by-day PDF before paying the balance.
- •Confirm pick-up point for the first day (airport, station, or hotel).
- •Save your coordinator's WhatsApp number — it is faster than email on tour days.
