Layers are the best way to tackle this. Be sure to also drink plenty of water and use sun protection.You and your family will visit several temples on this trip, which means covering up arms and shoulders as per the local custom. A light scarf is a great idea for covering shoulders and arms when it’s hot.Your overnight train journey (Day 4) is quite long.
