For parents and senior travellers
Easy transfers to and in Jalore
- Break the Bhinmal loop with a rest; distances are long and roads are small.
- Carry water, a hat and any medicines, because services outside the town are limited.
- 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.
