Taking elders and children to Sasan Gir from Somnath
A calmer family cab plan from Somnath to Sasan Gir: seats, stops, and what to tell Madhuli Taxi before pickup.
Families do not fail the Sasan Gir trip on the highway. They fail it in the last lane, with an elder who needed the car closer and a child who needed a stop an hour earlier. Gir is close enough for a morning safari and an evening aarti back in Somnath. The forest permit is separate from the cab.
Ask for the Ertiga when five or six of you are travelling. Put the person who gets carsick in the front, and say so in the note. Dawn slots mean a dark departure from the Somnath hotel. Write the slot time in the note.
Devaliya is the easier add-on when a full jungle slot is not available.
The Somnath driver can wait between gates. That is the point of a local desk. Send the hotel name and a mobile that someone in the car will actually answer.
