Travel tips

  • Carry small denominations of cash as many local boat operators and small shops do not accept digital payments.
  • Book your houseboat or shikara tours through established operators to ensure safety and fair pricing.
  • Tipping is appreciated in mid-range restaurants; 5-10% of the bill is standard for good service.
  • Use a ride-hailing app or pre-arranged transport to navigate between the lighthouse and museum to avoid overpaying for rickshaws.
