Pilgrimage can involve walking, standing, heat, crowds and long road journeys. Carry water where permitted, use appropriate footwear and schedule breaks rather than pushing through exhaustion.
Keep essential medicines and important documents secure. For urgent medical situations, use official emergency services or a recognised medical facility. Do not rely on directory listings alone for emergency care.
Conditions can vary by season. Check weather and local public-health information before departure and keep emergency contacts accessible offline.
