For parents and senior travellers
Easy transfers to and in Bundi
- Raniji ki Baori has worn steps and is slippery if wet. Wear non-skid shoes and go partway down if the full descent seems too ambitious; the carvings are visible from several levels.
- Hire a car and driver for the full stay rather than relying on autos. It gives you a quiet place to rest and avoids the challenge of walking between distant sights in heat.
- Lake drives (Jait Sagar, Nawal Sagar) are peaceful and require no climbing. A late afternoon drive is excellent for gentle activity.
- Temples can be cool and dark; bring a cardigan or shawl, as the temperature inside can be surprising. Marble floors may be cold underfoot, so socks help.
- 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.
