- Keep activities specific — name the temples, districts and landmarks you plan to visit instead of writing "sightseeing".
- Account for every day from arrival to departure, including the day you take your return flight home.
- List the accommodation for each night with its full name (and address/phone in your final document) so it lines up with your bookings.
