So, finally the summer vacations have started. And are your kids nudging you constantly to take them to a fantastic location to have fun and frolic? Well, we understand. The struggle is real. It’s natural for the kids to feel the need for a break when they’re exhausted from the exams that just got over, and the idea of playing (or shall we say monkeying?) around for 2 to 3 months during the summer holidays is certainly very enticing. And if you are taking them for a nice vacation, obviously they will love you for this.
We suggest — why don’t you take them to Mumbai? Well, it is a rocking city with everything amazing for a kid and adult and even a senior citizen. You will find extremely adventurous places, exciting locations, and even relaxing spots – in one word, something for everyone in the family. What’s more? Your kid wouldn’t even realise, and the days will pass like magic in the metropolitan ambience of this city. One more suggestion — do opt for a road trip to travel to Mumbai if you really want to enjoy the place thoroughly and even explore the magnificent locations in the vicinity.
