Accommodation for Mumbai

Even though Mumbai offers all kinds of accommodation, finding a room at the right price when you arrive can be a real problem. Budget travellers, in particular, can expect a hard time: standards at the bottom of the range are grim and room rates exorbitant. A windowiess cell with wood-partition walls and no running water costs Rs300 and above, while a comfortable room in the centre of town, with an attached toilet and shower, and a window, will set you back the best part of Rs1000. The best of the relatively inexpensive places tend to fill up by noon, which

Accommodation of Nainital in Uttaranchal

As a holiday town, Nainital is full of hotels; however, budget accommodation is hard to come by, and a hefty fifteen percent tax is levied onto prices almost everywhere. Rates are high between March and July, peaking between mid-April and mid-June, but you can normally find discounts at other cimes. On the whole, rooms are cheaper in Tallkal than in Mallital. The price codes indicated overleaf are for the low season but with an indication of the high season rates. Alka, the Mall 05942/35220.

Accommodation of Kumbakonam in Central Tamil Nadu

Kumbakonam is not a major tourist location, and has limited accommodation, with only one upper-range hotel, the Sterling Swamimalai, 10km south-east of town on the outskirts of Swamimalai village.

Accommodation to Jhansi in the Uttar Pradesh

With Orchha just down the road, it's hard to see why you might stay in Jhansi unless you arrive too late to move on. Most of its hotels are too far from the railway and bus stations to be easily reached on foot. The cheaper ones operate 24-hour check-out, as opposed to noon in the mid-price and more expensive hotels. Jhansi, Shastri Marg. Former haunt of British burra-sahibs.

Car and cycle rental in Delhi

For local sightseeing and journeys beyond the city confines, the cheapest and most reliable oudets for chauffeur-driven cars are the tourist office, 88 Janpath, and the booths at the southern end of the Tibetan Market on janpath, most of which are willing to negotiate a price. Expect to pay from Rs500 a day which includes 80km mileage; in the high season the price rises to around Rs800 a day. Private travel agencies throughout Delhi usually charge more.

Auto-rickshaws and cycle rickshaws in Delhi

Auto-rickshaws (or "autos") - scooters converted into three-wheeler taxis -can be extremely useful in Delhi's chaotic traffic, though they catch the worst of the polluting exhaust fumes since their open sides are level with larger vehicles' exhaust pipes. Autos are now, however, finding themselves in the forefront of the recent ecological drive, with most new vehicles being fitted with natural gas-powered engines instead of the old diesel ones. In theory autos should charge what's shown on the meter, but even on the rare occasions when their meters are working, the rates tend to be out of date, and liable to

Accommodation to Jaisalmar Rajasthan

Jaisalmer has plenty of places to stay in all categories. Almost all offer camel treks, which vary in standard and price, and some managers can be uncomfortably pushy if you don't want to arrange a safari through them, suddenly hiking room rates or turning you out in the middle of the night. In general you should avoid anyone touting for business at the station or bus stand. All of the hotels listed below are reputable and relaxed. Many visitors prefer the peaceful, atmospheric guesthouses among the jumble of sandstone houses and havelis within the fort, whose roofs offer splendid desert

Rishikesh and around northeast of Delhi and 24km north of Haridwar at Uttaranchal

RISHIKESH, 238km northeast of Delhi and 24km north of Haridwar, lies at the point where the wooded mountains of Garhwal rise abruptly from the low valley floor and the Ganges crashes onto the plains. The centre for all manner of New Age and Hindu activity, its many ashrams - some ascetic, some opulent - continue to draw devotees and followers of all sorts of weird, wonderful and occasionally fraudulent gurus, with the large Shivananda Ashram in particular renowned as a yoga centre. Rishikesh has one or two ancient shrines, but its main role has always been as a way-station for sannyasin,

Taxis in Delhi

Black and yellow taxis, which charge around fifty percent more than auto-rickshaws - thus Red Fort to Connaught Place costs in the region of Rs80 -are considered to be the most reliable mode of transport. Drivers belong to local taxi stands, where you can make bookings and fix prices; if you flag a taxi down on the street you're letting yourself in for some hectic haggling.

Accommodation south of Kovalam in Kerala

Two of the most luxurious of Kovalam's resorts lie around 8km to the south by road, and they benefit from long stretches of golden beach, as opposed to the unattractive black sand of Kovalam. The German-run Surya Samudra at PULINKUDI (0471 /480413, 481124) consists of beautifully presented antique Keralan wood cottages (all non-a/c), which spread discreetly along a rocky hillside and look down onto two small beaches. There is an Ayurvedic centre and an extraordinary swimming pool cut into the rock that is open to nonresidents, but for a price (Rs400). Nearby, Somatheemm at CHOWERA (0471/481601, 462935) was formerly an
