We will do our best to satisfy special dietary requirements if we are informed in advance. |

What kind of accommodation is provided? We use a variety of different types of accommodations ranging from tents to palaces! For the cultural tours there is often the choice of deluxe or budget accommodations. Deluxe accommodations include five star properties (both heritage and modern). Budget accommodations are usually three or four star properties. Whether budget or deluxe, the rooms are always clean with private bathrooms and friendly management.
