Prioritise Kamalabari Satra early in the day before crowds build.

Pair Auniati Satra with nearby food stops instead of crossing the city repeatedly.

Check weekly closures and festival dates before locking the itinerary.

Carry a light layer, sun protection, and water; Indian travel days often run longer than expected.
