The following itinerary is our ideal proposed itinerary but the order of cities / places visited may be reversed or interchanged based on ticket availibility etc.
This Itinerary is rigid to the extent of travelling from one city to another as those travel costs and arrangements are included in the package costs. However within each city- this is the proposed itinerary that I propose to make the *best of our time* in my opinion ! But travellers are free to choose to do their own thing as well. We should ideally travel together while heading out- but this is not mandatory and you could also plan your days based on your individual likes and dislikes.
