✕Settling after every meal instead of one clean settlement at the end
✕Overloading the Mumbai itinerary with too many stops in a single day
✕Ignoring travel time between attractions and the stay
✕Not checking current opening hours and seasonal closures before going
✕Booking stay far from where the group actually wants to spend time
