A district is not one town

An address saying Nainital district does not place a stay beside Naini Lake. Read the town or village as well.

Use the complete address

For accommodation, record the property, locality, town or village and district. Compare those details with the location you actually intend to visit.

Check the arrival point

Ask where the vehicle can reach and where you will meet. A district name cannot identify a particular gate or pickup point.

Avoid a name-only itinerary

Do not combine far-apart places just because they share a regional label. Plot your overnight stops and return point before booking.
