A route diagram, not a survey map — the turns in the order you walk them. Distances between stops in an old city are short; the time goes on looking, not walking.

Before you set off
Save this page for offline reading, or carry the Ranthambore City Edition, which prints the same route. Old-city lanes are uneven and often stepped; where a stop is up a stair or a ramp we say so in the step itself. If a turn looks wrong, it probably is — walk back to the last numbered stop rather than improvising.
