This will be our first day of tour. As per our arrival timing, we will decide either move first to hotel or do some local visit and then do hotel check-in. As all hotels offers check-in in afternoon period thus for early morning arrivals, instead of waiting at hotel, better to do some city tour and do the hotel check-in at afternoon hours. Here we will visit the city attractions like Lal Bagh Palace museum, Rajwada complex, Chatribagh, Annapurna temple etc. During dinner hours, we will explore popular Sarafa market, a street food market, organized late night. It offers option to have taste of regional food items at one place.
