Taking elders and children to Junagadh from Somnath

A calmer family cab plan from Somnath to Junagadh: seats, stops, and what to tell Madhuli Taxi before pickup.

Families do not fail the Junagadh 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. Junagadh is the fort city and the base of the Girnar climb. The steps reward an early start.

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. Tell us if anyone in the car is not climbing, so the driver knows where to wait.

Uparkot and Mahabat Maqbara fit after the climb only if the group still has energy.

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.
