LGBTQ+ comfort notes

Delhi and Jaipur offer more accommodation choice than small towns. Public affection may attract attention, particularly in crowded or conservative settings, so each couple should choose what feels comfortable. We can discuss room requests, private guiding and free time before the itinerary is confirmed.
