Some 3km west on Mahatma Gandhi Marg is Ganga Market, landmarked by a red, triple-spired temple and nearby clock tower. The market itself is a busy clash of peoples from across the borderlands as well as piles of colourful fruit and some other decidedly exotic food items. The good-value Hotel Blue Pine (%2211118; s 300-500, d 500-600) is here, with well-maintained rooms and a mix of common restaurants in winter park village and private bathrooms. Don t mind the caged receptionist, he s quite tame and helpful.

The Shiva temple, which sits atop the island, is less interesting than the boat ride out to it.
