How locals move
Getting around Hinkal the local way
- Get inYou don't need to hire a car and driver while staying in Mysore, as all the tourist sites are within walking distance or a cheap ride by rickshaw.
- Get aroundAuto-rickshaws have meters, but drivers politely refuse to turn down the meters, especially at railway stations, bus stations, etc.
- Get aroundTry to insist on using the meter; threatening to call the police sometimes works when the rickshaw driver pretends that the meter is broken and wants a flat fee.
- Get aroundAt the railway station or city bus stand, go straight to the prepaid auto-rickshaw counter and tell them your destination (you have to pay a rupee (₹1) for this service).
- Get aroundThey will give you a slip with the fare printed, along with the destination and auto rickshaw registration number.
