For parents and senior travellers
Easy transfers to and in Dibrugarh
- Use a hired car with driver for everything beyond town; the roads are flat but the distances are long, so plan one excursion a day.
- Carry water, a hat and any regular medication on day trips, since pharmacies and clinics thin out quickly outside town.
- 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.
