Pacing

Pacing a Kuchaman trip for parents and children

• The fort is on a cliff; ask whether a vehicle reaches the upper gate before committing.
• Visit in November to February; avoid April to June, when heat and sandstorms are severe.
• Start early and rest through the afternoon.
• Check non-guest access to the fort before you travel.
• Carry water and medicines; the town has limited tourist services, so plan ahead.
• Heat: Summer highs have been recorded up to 47 C; avoid April to June and keep outdoor plans to the morning.
