Day 1 Delhi — Departure

With the main logistics already arranged, the day can be enjoyed with considerably more freedom than a group itinerary allows.

If you prefer more time at a monument, a shorter market visit or a different lunch rhythm, the private format gives the guide room to adjust within practical limits. Any optional experience is discussed clearly rather than inserted into the programme as an obligation.
