For parents and senior travellers
Easy transfers to and in Songadh
- There are few facilities at the fort or dam, so carry water, snacks and a hat.
- Travel by car or taxi rather than relying on local transport.
- 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.
