For parents and senior travellers
Easy transfers to and in Bageshwar Dham
- Carry water, a hat, any medicines, a printed copy of any registration and a small, light bag. Photography inside the temple is not allowed, so a camera is of little use.
- Keep a family member with you in crowds and agree a meeting point. Ask the organisers' volunteers or security staff about wheelchair assistance on arrival, as arrangements are not published.
- 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.
