Transfer to Port Blair Veer Savarkar International Airport for your homeward flight to the mainland (Chennai, Kolkata, Delhi or Mumbai).

This day is shaped around your family's specific geography — the town, city, or region your family came from. This could mean a visit to a specific city, a village, a district, a gurudwara, a temple, or a family property. Your concierge team researches the logistics in advance. This day is not a tourist experience. It is personal, prepared, and hosted with sensitivity. Whatever the visit holds — reunion, pilgrimage, memory, or simply arrival — it is handled with care.

If the ancestral visit requires a second day — for family meetings, local travel, additional sites, or simply more time — this day is reserved for that. If the visit is complete, your private vehicle or flight carries you toward Varanasi. Routes and timing confirmed at booking.

Varanasi at sunset is a confrontation with time. Your hotel is near the river. The evening begins at Dashashwamedh Ghat for the Ganga Aarti — one of the most ritually dense and visually extraordinary daily ceremonies on earth. Seven priests, fire, bells, incense, and hundreds of pilgrims gathered at the Ganges in the last light. Your guide explains what you are watching without diminishing it.

The private boat goes out before sunrise. The ghats emerge slowly from the dark — lanterns on the water, silhouettes at prayer, the cremation fires at Manikarnika. Your guide is quiet unless you ask. This is not an explanation hour — it is a witnessing hour. Late morning: the old city lanes. The silk weavers, the temples, the sweet shops that have been there for a century. Afternoon rest. Optional evening classical music performance.

Sarnath, 13 km from Varanasi, is where the Buddha gave his first teaching after enlightenment. The Dhamek Stupa, the Sarnath Museum, the Lion Capital — one of the finest collections of Buddhist art in India. Even for non-Buddhist travellers, Sarnath is one of those places that explains how much of human civilisation grew from this one valley of the Ganges.

Return to Delhi by flight or road. Depending on your departure schedule, an optional afternoon visit to Qutb Minar (the world's tallest brick minaret) or the National Museum. If your family has roots in Delhi itself, additional visits can be arranged. Briefing for departure logistics from your concierge.

A final morning at your own pace. Breakfast at the hotel. Your concierge confirms departure timings, handles check-out, and escorts you to the vehicle. A calm, hosted farewell from India.

Private vehicle to IGI Terminal 3. Your concierge accompanies you to the departure level if needed. Check-in assistance provided. The last few hours of your India journey are handled with the same attention that welcomed you on day one.

We recommend booking at least 3–4 months in advance for peak season travel (October–March). For off-peak travel, 6–8 weeks is generally sufficient. Bespoke itineraries need a minimum 8 weeks for full confirmation.
