How Baby-Friendly is Goa Gajah?

39%Baby-Friendly
View Map

What makes it 39% Baby-Friendly: Babies are allowed, but many stairs, rough paths, and the absence of stroller access, nursing rooms, or diaper stations make care difficult, limiting the visit to a quick outer-courtyard stroll.

It was a fantastic experience. The entire setting is beautiful. You're in nature with lovely flowers, bridges, and even a waterfall inside. It's not crowded. Make sure to wear good shoes. It's well worth a visit.
