For parents and senior travellers
Easy transfers to and in Kannad
- Take a car with good ground clearance and a driver familiar with the Nagapur road.
- Fill the tank and carry water; fuel and shops are scarce in the hills.
- 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.
