~400 rupees by tuk-tuk

Getting to the border independently is fairly easy: you can arrange a round-trip taxi or take a local bus. Riding 50 km one-way in a tuk-tuk can be tiring for some travelers.

Taxi or local bus

Group tours booked through platforms like Booking.com often turn out to be regular buses filled with Indian domestic tourists — expect noise, littering, and frequent requests for photos. Many travelers prefer arranging transport independently instead.
