Safety Warnings

Watch out for pickpocketing in crowded markets and beware of stray animals on the roads at night. Move cautiously in dark or deserted lanes.

Hidden Gems

Visit the small riverbank at the edge of town for sunrise or sunset, and explore the historic stepwell near the main temple seldom visited by tourists.
