Packing for the Trip
You need comfortable walking shoes with good grip. The ancient stones at Bhangarh are uneven. Bring a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, and high SPF sunscreen. The sites offer limited shade. Pack insect repellent because Bhangarh sits near a forest buffer zone.
Carry reusable water bottles since facilities are scarce at both locations. Bring a small amount of cash to pay for local food stalls and parking. If you want clear photos of the geometric patterns at Chand Baori, pack a camera with a zoom lens.
