Easy transfers to and in Bagh
- The caves involve steps, dim interiors and uneven floors; carry a torch and wear good shoes.
- Carry water, snacks and medicines as there are few facilities in Bagh.
- 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.
