Hotel / Flight

Can be changed
Hotels
Hotels are the source-listed properties or similar. The itinerary includes a Varanasi-to-Gwalior flight transfer, but the source also lists air/train fare among exclusions; flight-ticket inclusion is therefore ambiguous and must be confirmed in the actual quote. Final departure is stated as Jhansi/Gwalior station depending on arrangement. **Can be changed.**
