For parents and senior travellers
Easy transfers to and in Mahendragarh
- Drive up to the car park at Madhogarh rather than walking the road; the palace and ramparts are then a short walk.
- Carry water, a hat and any medicines; facilities at the sights 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.
