    Allison

    Asked on June 4th, 2025

    Is it possible to remove the last hotel night and make it at the beginning instead? We would fly from Varanasi to New Delhi on the 12th day at 9:00 AM and return home the same evening. Would the price remain at EUR 890 /- Per Person? The Lufthansa flight times are not the best. Then I have another question. What is the weather like at this time? Is a trip recommended during this period?

      Allison

      TravelerWritten June 2025

      Could you tell me the 3-star and 4-star hotels so I can get an impression? I am not familiar with Indian standards. If we book flights, our flight would arrive around 2:00 AM. Would we then have to stay at the airport?

    • Golden Triangle India ToursOperatorWritten June 2025

      As per your flight arriving at 2 AM, we need to book an extra night in Delhi. When you arrive in Delhi, you can get rooms at the same time. The hotel check-in time is 12:00 noon.

    • Golden Triangle India ToursOperatorWritten June 2025

      Yes we can do this way if you are not taking the last night. September is a good month as its not hot and not cold. I suggest you this month is good.
