    Asked on November 24th, 2024

    If we arrive around midday on the 6th Jan coud we still do the Delhi tour or would we be better to stay an extra night in Delhi and start tour on 7th Jan. I so what would be the extra cost for an extrat night in Delhi? Also, would a international flight departing from Deli on the last night of the tour departing around 10pm connect ok with flight from Varanasi?

      It would be better if we add one more night in Delhi so that you can start sightseeing without fatigue. It cost 100 usd extra. As for the last day, we will provide you afternoon flight.

      Is that usd 100 total for the two of us for an extra night in Delhi? Also we need to book flights back to Perth so would appreciate if you could advise if a 10pm flight from Delhi on the last day would work.

    • Payless tours indiaOperator•Written November 2024

      Yes, it works since the flight will take off in the morning from Varanasi to Delhi. 100 USD is for 2 people. Please let us know and we will add this extra cost to the total tour price.
