Getting Around
Taxis are unmetered, so you should agree on a fare before setting off - the standard fare anywhere in town is around Rs20.00 to Rs25.00 . There are prepaid autorickshaw stands at the bus and train stations. It costs Rs200.00 to hire an autorickshaw for a day of local sightseeing.
The commission system is in place, so if a rickshaw driver insists that the hotel you are after has burnt down or that the owner has died in a freak accident, ignore his advice and tenaciously pursue your choice.
Bicycles are a cheap and environmentally friendly way to buzz around town, and motorbikes and mopeds can be rented to explore the surrounding countryside.
