Suggested sequence · Adjust the route and time in each place with your brief.
Your days, thoughtfully arranged.
Consider this an opening conversation. The route, stays and experiences can be adjusted around your dates and interests.
Day 1 · Arrive and orient yourself
Settle into your stay before a gentle introduction to the riverfront. Discuss walking distances and steps with your guide so the next days suit your needs.
Day 2 · A city waking up
Begin early beside the Ganges. A boat outing can be considered when local conditions permit; continue with a neighbourhood walk and a long break in the afternoon.
Day 3 · Beyond the postcard
Follow your interests into the city’s craft and food traditions. Leave the evening flexible rather than turning every moment into an appointment.
Day 4 · A final morning
Enjoy one last breakfast and transfer for your onward journey. This stay can become a separate chapter after the Golden Triangle.
Good to know before you go.
