For parents and senior travellers
Easy transfers to and in Bhangarh
- Carry more water than you think you need, plus a hat; shade is limited.
- The last stretch of approach road is reported rough, so choose a comfortable car and a driver who knows the route.
- 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.
