Travelling To India
Our family (husband and wife both age 45, son age 10, daughter age 8) is interested in traveling to India in late-december/early-January 2019 [moderator edit to remove commercial link]. We recognize this is possibly the worst time to visit India given the heat, but that would be the only time our children have sufficient time off from school for a trip.
We would like to travel for approximately two weeks, inclusive of international flights (roughly ten days in India). We'd like to see the usual tourist sites in Delhi, Agra, Jaipur as well as spending a few days in one of the national parks in the hopes of catching a glimpse of a tiger.
Main question: Are we insane to consider traveling in late December/early January, especially with children? Will the heat just be too stifling to enjoy sight-seeing?
Thanks in advance!

If you can get over the often insane prices of flying to India during the Christmas season, it is a great time to visit.

goa is not really an attraction for people coming to india....there are far better places outside india if you just want to visit the beach....
