How to use these itineraries
Keep the plan simple and flexible
Use each itinerary as a starting framework, not a fixed schedule. Group nearby places, leave buffer time for temple visits and transport, and verify current access rules before you travel.
Pick a hotel area that reduces backtracking between your arrival point and main attractions.
Use taxi, bus, train, or walking plans based on distance, luggage, elders, children, and time available.
Adjust the plan for heat, rain, festivals, crowd levels, and official/local guidance close to your travel date.
