Sample week: The Ganga Trail (Varanasi → Rishikesh)
The Ganga Trail is our flagship sacred trail — intensity at the ghats, then healing by the river. This is a representative 8–10 night arc under the Sensory Protocol. Final itineraries are personalized after enquiry.
Operator note: Day-by-day timing, properties, and guide assignments are confirmed at booking — this sample shows pacing logic, not a fixed package SKU.

Return protocol — no checkout sprint
Competitors sell Varanasi + Rishikesh at similar night counts. Our difference is mandatory decompression, no transfer sprint, and protected temple windows — not more sights per day.
