For parents and senior travellers
Easy transfers to and in Tuljapur
- Hire a car and driver for Naldurg, the caves or Solapur rather than relying on buses, and pace the day with a long rest at midday.
- 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.
