As twilight falls, gather the group for a gentle sunset boat ride on Mirror Lake Promenade, followed by a lakeside photo stop beneath the illuminated arches of Pearl Bridge. Finish the evening with a relaxed, all-vegetarian dinner at the popular rooftop Saffron & Sage Bistro-try their signature masala paneer and millet pulao-then enjoy a short guided night-walk through the lantern-lit lanes of Heritage Courtyard, where local musicians sometimes perform soft folk tunes to round off your first day.

Enjoy a relaxed late-afternoon at Lotus Riverside Park, where shaded benches and a gentle riverside walk offer time for journaling or quiet conversation after the morning yoga and market browsing; pause for a group photography session beneath the flowering arched pergola. Then head to Sakhi Women's Café for a leisurely vegetarian high-tea tasting-sample their signature spiced dhokla and chamomile-ginger cooler made by the café's women chefs-before a guided short visit to Mehndi Alley, a cluster of women-run stalls where you can choose a final henna design or buy last-minute handcrafted mementos prior to departure.
As the day winds down, gather for a calming sunset tea ceremony at Chai Courtyard, where a local tea sommelier will guide you through herbal blends and light, savoury vegetarian tapas made by women chefs.
