One person pays one rupee (2s.) a day for a small room; a family, two rupees.

The payment is the same in most bungalows, if the travellers remain twenty-four hours or only half an hour; it is only in a few that it is considered enough to pay half-price for staying a short time.

At each bungalow, a native is placed as superintendent, who waits on the travellers, cooks for them, etc.

The control is carried out by means of a book, in which each traveller writes his name.

If there are no travellers, a person may remain as long as he chooses; when the contrary happens, he cannot stay more than twenty-four hours.
The villages which lie on the road are small, and appear very miserable and poor.
