Chikmagalur with Kids: A Family Travel Guide

Children love Chikkamagaluru. There are jeeps to bounce around in, waterfalls to splash in, stars to count and coffee berries to pick up from the ground.

Best villas for families

• Seren Manor: a duplex with three king bedrooms for big families or two families together.
• Twin Lotus and Twin Peaks: two bedrooms each, ideal for parents with two kids.

One child under 10 stays free per villa.

Kid-friendly things to do

• The morning estate walk, short and easy.
• The jeep ride to Jhari Falls.
• Outdoor games like badminton, frisbee, archery, kids cricket and throwball.
• Table tennis, foosball, carrom and chess in the games pavilion.

Safety tips

• Hold small children’s hands at viewpoints and waterfalls. Rocks are slippery.
• Carry motion sickness tablets for hill roads.
