After Ganga ghat darshan, prasad, tea, samosa, pakodi and seasonal sweets are useful for a short halt.
Kachori-sabzi, jalebi and tea are easy breakfast choices in the city and towns.
Dal-bhat, roti-sabzi, pickle and raita are reliable meals during road travel and bird sanctuary routes.
Tea, namkeen, fruit, water and light packed food are useful for the bird sanctuary route because the site is away from the city.
Seasonal jaggery, til sweets, peda, namkeen and local snacks are easy travel takeaways.
