Easy transfers to and in Abohar
- Carry water, snacks, a hat and any medicines; facilities in the villages are minimal.
- Hire a driver who knows the village tracks, as roads can be narrow and unmarked.
- Ask the airline or railway for wheelchair or porter assistance when you book, not on the day.
- Pre-book the pickup from the airport or station, so nobody has to negotiate with drivers after a long journey.
- Choose arrivals in daylight where you can, and keep the first afternoon free to rest.
