For parents and senior travellers
Easy transfers to and in Dwarka
- The Dwarkadhish Temple has stairs inside and on the approach. If climbing is difficult, ask hotel staff or a local guide about the gentler, wheelchair-accessible entry points, though these are limited.
- Bet Dwarka is reached by road over the Sudarshan Setu bridge from Okha, so there is no longer any need for the small ferry boats; the island temples involve only moderate walking.
- Hire a car and driver for the full stay rather than relying on autos and taxis. It gives you a cool place to rest between activities and avoids long walks.
- 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.
