Pacing

Pacing a Gadwal trip for parents and children

• Do the fort and temples early in the morning; the ground is uneven and there is little shade.
• Hire a car for Alampur and Jurala rather than relying on buses.
• Carry water and snacks; facilities outside the town are limited.
• Avoid April and May; heat can be severe.
• Remove footwear at temples and take a cloth for hot floors.
• Confirm timings and access locally before driving out to Jurala.
