Getting Around in Mayabunder
Getting around Mayabunder is quite easy as everything in town can be reached on foot. However, Karmatang beach is 13km away so the best way to get there is by taking a local bus. Do ask for exact timings, as there are limited rides per day. Some public jeeps and auto-rickshaws are available but can be quite expensive for non-locals. It is advisable to ask the locals about the price before taking the ride especially if you don’t feel like paying too much. There are no scooter or bike rentals possible but you can rent a jeep at Sea’N’Sand. For boat rides to the nearby islands, it is best to talk to local fishermen or ask the staff at the place you are staying.
