The short answer
Good family outings include a stupa visit with pigeons and prayer wheels, a short old-town walk, a puppet or craft shop, a zoo or museum stop, a park picnic, and a short day trip to a hill viewpoint. Keep each day to one main sight and one easy extra.
Traffic and dust tire children, so schedule rest, water and snacks. Dress for sun and temple rules.
