There are a lot of rickshaws in town. Their drivers knows all the major attractions of the town. Since no rickshaw has a meter, you need to negotiate their prices very hard.

A very quaint way to get around, especially for tourists, is by tonga or horse buggy as its called. There is a horse buggy stand at MG Plaza.

The local bars are patronised by the rural population who like to gulp the entire contents of their quarter sized bottle in go. It is an experience for those who like to observe local customs.

Most of the nice hotels on Station Road have a more 'civilised' bar with air conditioning. The range of drinks choices may be limited i.e. mostly Indian made brands.
