700 rupees is a day or two of pay for rickshaw drivers. He probably enjoyed the day off after dropping you!

- fy20 5y agoExactly... I mean tourism is a big part of the economy in some places. As a tourist I don't mind paying a reasonable amount more than locals, but charging $40 for a 2km ride is clearly just taking the p***. Our ride was 45 minutes maybe 20km, so $10 felt like a good deal to me :-)
- hiram112 5y agoWow. 70 rupees / US dollar. That's some devaluing in the last decade.
- kylehotchkiss 5y agoIt's closer to 75/dollar right now!
