NEERMAHAL AT SUNRISE, PROPERLY DONE.
How to do the water palace at the right hour. Coffee included. Tour guides not.
BY THE CONCIERGE

THERE IS ONE CORRECT HOUR TO SEE NEERMAHAL. IT IS 06:10, AND IT LASTS ABOUT TWELVE MINUTES.
Wake up at 05:30. The kitchen will have a flask of coffee and something warm in a tin. The boat leaves the jetty at 05:50.
§WHY THIS HOUR
The mist is still on the water. The walls are pink for about twelve minutes and then they're not. The day tours arrive at nine. You'll be back in bed by then.

§WHAT TO BRING
A jumper. The coffee. Yourself, but mostly not awake. We will handle the rest.
