Arrived this morning. Guy at the station said 800 to my hotel inside the fort. Is that normal or should I walk and flag another one? Kinda tired with bags.

Way too high. Normal is 300-400 inside the fort area. Walk a bit or go to the main gate and try another driver. They always start high with new arrivals.

Yeah 800 is crazy for that distance. Bargain hard or just walk 5 mins and grab one on the street. You'll get it for half.

I arrived yesterday and paid 350 after bargaining. Don't accept the first price.
