For parents and senior travellers
Easy transfers to and in Shirpur
- Go by car, as public transport to the fort and sanctuary is limited.
- Carry water and snacks; there are no shops at the sights.
- Avoid the monsoon, when the sanctuary road is hard to use.
- 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.
