For parents and senior travellers
Easy transfers to and in Tijara
- Hire a car for Alwar and Bhangarh, and break the day with a long lunch.
- Carry water, a hat and medicines, as facilities are limited outside the hotel.
- 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.
