- Get inIf taking an auto rickshaw from here, the prepaid desk will often try to charge you as much as three times the actual price quoted on the official price guide displayed clearly in their window - bargaining is sadly often cheaper.
- Get aroundAn eight-hour charter should cost around ₹1,500, and a tip is expected if the driver is helpful.
- Get aroundAuto rickshaws (also called three-wheeled scooters, tuk-tuks or simply autos) are good for shorter trips.
- Get aroundAlways in a distinctive yellow-and-green livery, auto rickshaws are three-wheeled partially enclosed contraptions that run on CNG and can seat three people in the back.
- Get aroundAlthough by law the rickshaw drivers should charge according to the meter in their vehicle (₹25 for the first two km, ₹8/km after), this rate is unrealistically low and they will almost always try to haggle for price.
