Ask an AI assistant to plan four days in Goa and you’ll get something that looks excellent. Clean day-wise structure, sensible pacing, a beach for sunset and a waterfall for the afternoon. It reads like a travel agent wrote it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then you land in July and discover the waterfall safari has been shut for six weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That gap \u2014 between an itinerary that reads well and one that survives contact with an actual Indian road \u2014 is where most AI trip planning quietly fails. Research reported through 2025 and 2026 found that 90% of AI-generated itineraries contained at least one factual error (Copyleaks<\/a>, via Open Jaw<\/a>). Not one in ten. Nine in ten. So where does an AI itinerary actually break?<\/p>\n\n\n\n TL;DR:<\/strong> Nine in ten AI-generated itineraries contain at least one factual error, and more than half suggest visiting places outside their operating hours (Copyleaks<\/a>, 2025). On Indian routes the failures cluster in four places: seasonal road and attraction closures, drive times, permit rules, and altitude pacing. Check those four and the itinerary is usually salvageable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n How we checked this<\/strong>?\u00a0Every error pattern below is a real, verifiable detail about a real Indian route \u2014 a road that genuinely shuts, a permit that genuinely exists, a monument that genuinely closes on a particular day. Each one is sourced and linked. This isn’t a scored head-to-head between the three assistants; it’s a field guide to the specific facts they tend to miss, ordered by how badly they miss them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In this Blog<\/p>\n<\/span><\/div>\n\n
