Basic groceries, local produce and market prices are affordable, especially if you shop at weekly haats or local stalls. Utilities such as electricity and water are priced modestly, though seasonal variations can affect electricity bills. Rental rates for modest apartments or shared houses are cheaper than in the state capital, but exact amounts depend on size and location.
