Fluffy pancakes beckoned, crispy parathas tempted, and a vibrant spread of fresh fruits and both Indian and Continental dishes lay before me. I must confess, I indulged a little more than planned, but every bite was a burst of flavor and warmth that chased away any lingering tiredness. By 9:30 AM, our little group of pilgrims gathered in the lobby, our anticipation buzzing in the air. Our luggage had been carefully divided—one set for the helicopter, adhering to s...
