I had searched online about wheel chair access in Golden Temple complex,but could not get any relevent leads,so i carried one wheel chair for my elderly mother who has great difficulty in walking.
I want to bring to knowledge about the fact that there are lot of wheel chairs available around the complex,especially near main entrance and best part is that there is a LIFT which will take you to parikarma area .
You can do parikarma with wheel chair .
You can request the sevadaars at darshi Jori about the problem of person on wheel chair and they will allow direct acess (NOT WITH WHEEL CHAIR)..you have to walk the final path(if you can do that),but in that also there is commotion ..so my parents could not do the darshan inside as they could not walk or wait much.(I wish something could be done in these situations..as elderly,sick,special people also deserve darshan).
AVOID going on weekends and festival days as there is lots and lots of devoties...But on top of this the complex itself is heavenly..you can do darshan anywhere.....
So you do not need to carry especially wheel chair..any of accompanying person can request for wheel chair and reach main entrance..on right side below information centre is the LIFT...on the other entrance at Akal Takt sahib...there is electronic chair on stairs.
