The expense for both the services is not so costly however you may somehow feel awkward since it is not like your home and you have to adjust to the circumstance.

Because of hefty guest inflows during tourist season, you may not get a private room constantly and may need to rest on the floor of the dormitory. You can likewise do setting up camp outside where 2-3 stone shelters like caverns are accessible on the riverbank down in the valley from the visitor house yet remember that it is extremely dangerous to stay in such an open area in the middle of nowhere. My recommendation is not to show such boldness especially if you are a solitary explorer.
