For parents and senior travellers
Easy transfers to and in Sanwaliya Seth
- Ask staff on arrival about arrangements for the elderly and wheelchair users. I could not verify a formal policy.
- Carry water and avoid the hot months of April to June; queues mean standing for long periods.
- Hire a car and driver for the day; the three temples are a short drive apart and the highway has few places to rest.
- 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.
