Easy transfers to and in Deogarh
- Use a car from Lalitpur or Jhansi; the village has little public transport.
- The ghat steps are steep and slippery after rain. Older visitors can see the carvings from the top.
- Carry water, snacks and any medicines; the nearest hospital is in Lalitpur.
- Wear shoes that are easy to remove for the Jain temples, and carry socks for hot stone.
- 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.
