The short answer
Good child-friendly days are a boat ride on Phewa, an elephant-free jungle walk or canoe in Chitwan, the cable car at Manakamana or Chandragiri, a morning at the Pokhara museum and a gentle village walk. Avoid long road days and high altitude.
Keep days short, plan snack breaks and choose hotels with a pool or garden. Always supervise near water and cliff edges.
