Travel guide
Get around
Autos can be hired from near the bus stand, taxis are available too. Most of them understand Hindi or English, so get hold of someone who does. For a predetermined price, they will take you to most of the places of interest. Price, as almost always in India, is negotiable, so ask 3-4 persons before deciding.
Walking is another good option; maps and signposts abound, so getting around should not be difficult.
Drink
Alcohol is easily available and carries no stigma in spite of the fact that Srirangapatna is a Muslim-dominated area.

Located near the city of Mandya, it is of religious, cultural and historic importance.
The monuments on the island town of Srirangapatna have been nominated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the application is pending on the tentative list of UNESCO.
