Went for a week long vacation. Come back to find that rapido fare has been drastically increased. Earlier psot 9:15 rapido used totake time to secure ride. Now at 9 AM , the fare surge higher than expected.
I used to pay 110 for 10 km. Now just for 4.5km I'm paying 85 rupees.
Usually uber bike has higher fare but today it has 10 Rupees lower than rapido.
Zsotel vs Shalom
Zostel is a bit away from the main centre of udaipur but peaceful compared to shalom.my day night stay was in zostel.
Second day in shalom, Shalom hostel is a bit messy and unhygienic. Though it has a spacious common area but the washroom in both common area is not clean properly. I dont think women can use those washroom.
Shalom room has attached washroom like zostel but it doesnt have exhaust fan and no heater. Zostel washroom has all the facilities and clean up to mark.
Shalom was co-ed unlike zostel and I don't thnik anyone cares becase we use room only to sleep.
Roottop cafe, shalom wins here. shalom has better view of lake and ghat and food is also cheaper compare to zostel. I had gatte ki sabzi with four chapati and one water bottle a total cost was 540. In shalom dal and roti cost me 289 sth and Paratha was only 100 rupees.
While living in hostel was decent but Food in general expensive in udaipur. I tired all types of kachori, famous one or local and have to say all taste avg. Nothing special.
A cup of coffee cost 40 rupees. Orange juice 100 rupees.
I didnt take scooty because I thought the city is walkable and it was. First two day was good but then came weekend and everyone is taking scooty. It was chaos.
I loved the boating and exploring ghat. Although I had a lot of expectation. Ghats area shoudl have been more clean and lake near tow bridges should be more clean.
My favourite part was fateh sagar lake in the mornkng. It was raining and truly amazing experience especially with local people.
I paid 690 I guess for zostel and almost same in shalom. Uber is more reliable than rapido. From station to zostel the bike charge was 39 but I paid 50 becasue I thought they deserve better pay. Same while coming to station 45 rupees. Though the traffic to station was less while it was around 8 when I came to the city.
You can buy shirt from hathipole area for 300 if you negotiate. Just buy one size large because those fabric shrinks.
I searched on internet dewars 12 years have yellowish bottle but it is black. The black colour is also available but rare. There is no price tag. They charged me 2200/_
Taste is a bit bitter. It is not smooth
