Getting Around
Multi-seater tempos and Vikrams, their diesel engines sounding like hundreds of loud rattles, have more or less taken over from city buses, plying regular routes such as from Charbagh to the GPO, with depots at Janpath Market, Clarks Avadh Crossing and the Chowk. Adding to the chaos are legions of cycle rickshaws. Comprehensive daily city tours (Rs520 including most entry fees), which must be booked in advance through UP Tours, and only run if they have five or more takers, leave the Hotel Gomti, 6 Sapru Marg, at 9.30am and return at 2.30pm. You can also be picked up from the station (at 9.00am) and from various other hotels. Guide and entrance fees are included in the price except for the Residency (Rs100).
