What to pack
For a trip to Jaunpur during the peak season of October-November or February-March, pack light cotton clothing for the daytime and a light jacket or sweater for cooler evenings. Comfortable walking shoes are essential for exploring historical sites. Sunglasses, sunscreen, and a hat will protect you from the sun.

Remember to pack any necessary prescription medications and a basic first-aid kit.
