Delhi, Goa, Jaipur with toddlers

rufina

Our itinerary is almost complete except for the last journey back to Delhi IG airport.
here's the story so far: 18 days in April. Start off in Delhi for 6 nights with 1 night in Agra during that time. then domestic flight to Goa; 6 nights in goa, then domestic flight to Jaipur with 4 nights in Jaipur. We have two children aged 6 and 3 with us. We fly out of IG airport Sun 19th at 1pm so are planning to leave Jaipur on Sat 18th morning by car. I know the drive takes around 5 hours but that's too long for our little ones so we need to break the journey up. We will have all our luggage with us, so I have 2 questions? Where is a good place to stop for a few hours between Jaipur and Delhi, and does anyone happen to know of any hotels/guesthouses within 1 hours drive of IG airport (coming from Jaipur direction) which have family rooms? I am also looking through the hotels section but I've asked the question here as well just in case anyone happens to know of family room/suite type accommodation. Any ideas or advice very welcome. Thank you

neemrana hotel near behror will be around 2 hours from the airport. It is about midway between jaipur and delhi.

Its an old palace/fort converted to hotel.

If you're interested we'll probably be at the Alwar Bagh from 16/4, leaving 19/4 for Delhi. We've got two girls aged 11 and 8, there's a swimming pool there and gardens; the kids could play together.
Alwar is slightly off route, but not far off route.
The hotel has rooms that are big enough for a family of four and within your price budget (judging by your post about Delhi)

hello ocean tragic
thanks for that and hotel looks good but I don't think we'll make it. We're going to be in Jaipur 14, 15, 16 and head back to delhi on 17. we fly out on 18. Hope you have a lovely trip. I'm a bit nervous but very excited as well.

Let me know if you change your mind.

As I said we'll be there from the 16th.
I think Alwar is only a couple of hours away from Delhi Airport so you could probably go straight from Alwar, unless you need to be in Delhi before you fly, or if you've got an early flight.

It's only a minor detour away from the Jaipur-Delhi route. But we're taking the train as it's only a couple of hours.

Have fun in Goa, Chicken Xacuti and Chicken Cafreal, wonderful. I loved Tiracol Fort, Palolem and the beach walk from Baga to Fort Aguada.

Strangely, I'm not nervous at all . I probably should be a little, but other than loosing the children somewhere, I'm fine. My only problem is how to the wife packing too much.
