Monty Guest House HOTEL
( 222 2169; www.montyhotel.com ; 1st Ave;s/d Rs 2500/3000, r with air-con Rs 5000-9000;
)
In a leafy suburb 1km south of the centre, the likeable Monty is a well-run place to stay.
Design-wise it's slightly quirky: some communal areas resemble a multi-storey car park,
while the contemporary lobby is very tasteful. Fan rooms are functional and a tad dark, but
air-con options boast modern furniture and clean lines.
The restaurant serves a range of excellent local and Western dishes (mains Rs 280 to
650) on its inviting outdoor terrace or in the dining room.

room. Features lots of Chinese-style mains including delicious Manchurian chicken and
salad (Rs 775), and several dishes with kankun, a leafy green related to morning glory.

tact owner Terrel, who has 4WDs.

heart of town.
