Getting Around Agartala
Buses don't go directly to Hotel Exclusive International. Get off at Battala crossing and walk 500m or take an auto for INR 30. Keep small notes—conductors rarely break INR 100.
Book the green 'shared' prepaid taxi for INR 100 per person if you're solo. You'll wait until the car fills (max 4 passengers), but it's a third of the private fare. Have exact change.
Ask the hotel for their driver's contact number. The fare is fixed, but tip INR 50–100 if they help with bags. Airport prepaid taxis start at INR 350, but hotel transfer is more reliable.
Agree on fare before boarding. Short hops (like to Maharaja Bir Bikram College) cost INR 50–70. For longer trips, bargain to INR 100–150. Avoid shared autos after dark—the fixed route takes unnecessary detours.
