For parents and senior travellers
Easy transfers to and in Bageshwar
- Avoid July and August, when landslides are common on Kumaon hill roads.
- Carry medicines and keep a copy of prescriptions; specialist care is far away.
- 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.
