For parents and senior travellers
Easy transfers to and in Khatu Shyam Ji
- Phones, cameras and bags are usually deposited at a counter before entry, so carry a small cloth bag with only the essentials and keep medicines and a water bottle accessible.
- Choose a hotel within walking distance with a lift. Lanes near the temple are crowded, and cars may not be allowed in on festival days.
- Carry the contact of your driver and agree a meeting point, as phones are left behind and crowds scatter groups.
- 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.
