Frequently Asked Questions
About the guides and how we write them.
Which cities does Explore The City cover?
Our actively maintained planning collection currently covers Bangalore, Mumbai, Goa, Delhi and Jaipur. We keep the supported set deliberately small while destination details are checked for the Trip Reality Checker.
How detailed is each city guide?
Each supported guide combines attractions, food, seasonal context, neighbourhood choices, costs and practical planning notes on one page.
How are the guides researched?
Each guide is independently researched and reviewed against reliable sources rather than assembled from recycled directory listings. We update practical details as places and transport change.
How many days do I need for each city?
Three to four days covers the highlights of most cities comfortably, including the main attractions, food, and one or two day trips. Two days is enough for just the essentials. Each city guide includes its own suggested itineraries and pacing.
