Planning Tips
- Arriving by train — the most convenient way to reach the town is by taking a local train from Jasidih station, a major hub on the Howrah-New Delhi main line with frequent connections.
- Getting around town — unmetered auto-rickshaws and hired cars are the main transport options; a reserved auto for a day of sightseeing can cost anywhere from a few hundred to a thousand rupees.
- Trying the local food — don't miss the town's specialties: look for peda sweetmeat year-round, langra mangoes in season, and sattu-filled parathas at Luchhu Shah's shop in the temple lane.
- Staying hydrated — as local groundwater is the primary source, carrying or purchasing bottled water is strongly recommended for drinking.
