Built for couples: quieter hotels with views rather than city-centre noise, later starts, a candlelight dinner in Sohra, a private boat on the Umngot at Dawki before the day crowds arrive, and a full day kept deliberately free.
We avoid the group-tour stops entirely on this route. Where everyone else goes at eleven in the morning, you go at seven. Vehicle is a private sedan with a driver briefed to give you space, and the Sohra stay is a resort on the plateau edge rather than in town.
