Hi Anthea
Pleased that you have booked this trip. I have had a look at your itinerary and hotels and although there are some hotel changes, visits and timings are much the same. There is some free time where you could use hotel pools but it will be limited. I chose not to do second game drive in Rathambore and had a massage instead. I used the free time in Varanasi to have a pedicure!
There was always time to have a shower and to change for dinner. Smart casual clothes were fine.
My advice is go to India with an open mind. Take necessary precautions against tummy upsets-hand gel, Imodium and rehydration drinks should be packed.
Hope you have a wonderful holiday.
