For parents and senior travellers
Easy transfers to and in Dasada
- Choose a resort with ground-level rooms close to the dining area and ask about transfers within the property.
- Jeep tracks are rough and dusty; carry a scarf, hat, water and any back or neck support you need.
- There are no toilets on the flats, so plan stops before and after the drive.
- Keep the Modhera and Patan day trip for a separate day, with a driver and a firm return time.
- 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.
