For parents and senior travellers
Easy transfers to and in Udaipur
- Kalyan Sagar and the temple court are largely level; carry a seat cushion and ask for a quiet spot if you need rest.
- Choose a car with driver for the Gumti and Devtamura excursions, since public transport is thin and the roads are rural.
- Carry medicines and water; the nearest hospitals are in Agartala.
- 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.
