Local Tips

Hire a local guide for in-depth temple history; bicycles and auto-rickshaws are the best way to get around; carry cash as smaller vendors may not accept cards.

Safety Warnings

Watch out for touts offering unofficial tours or overpriced souvenirs near monuments. Avoid walking alone late at night in poorly lit or isolated areas. Keep an eye on your belongings in crowded spaces.
