Alwar Town does not
have public transport, but cycle rickshaws
are cheap and easily available along most
roads. The city stretches west from the
railway line to the hills crowned by the
10th century Bala Qila. Most of the
sightseeing and build-ings such as the City
Palace and Moosi Maharani ki Chhatri are
concentrated on this far side, under the
fort's watchful eye. The Alwar Inter-State
Bus Terminus is also nearby, within walking
distance of the Prem Pavitra Bhojanalaya,
the best place to lunch at after a long
journey. North-east of the bhojanalaya is
Hope circle, a busy traffic intersection
surrounded by markets like Churi Bazaar and
Kalakand Market. While cycle rickshaws
charge at least Rs 10, the fare varies
according to not only the distance but also
the gradient of the roads traversed. The
usual fare from the bus terminus to the
railway station is Rs 15. While there are
diesel autos that run both inside and
outside the town, they are expensive to hire
solo and run like shared cabs. The cycle
rickshaw is a more eco-friendly option for
short distances. |
