There isn't much in the way of tourist hotels. But you will get some, even you can get good Dharma sala (like guest house), Hotel, start from Rs.45 to Rs.500 for an air-conditioned suite. Food is deliciously Indian influenced, with lot of sweets and vegetarian specialties for devout Hindus, though the lack of menus may reduce you to sign language or a point and eat system.
