For parents and senior travellers
Easy transfers to and in Nameri
- The final road is unpaved and bumpy, so travel with a driver who knows it and expect a slow last stretch.
- Carry regular medication, water and snacks; the nearest good hospitals are in Tezpur.
- 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.
