| Accommodation | Guesthouses/hotels (5 nts), basic tribal villages (1 nt), National Park lodges/Mountain Hut(3 nts) |
| Brochure Notes | It should be stressed that the nature of the accommodation when compared with other areas of SE Asia, is sometimes of a lower standard than normally provided on G.A.P Adventures trips. This is often due to the location and type of activities involved (ie high on a mountain and in remote jungle areas). Accommodation is always clean and usually makes up in character and location, what it might not provide in glamour and additional services. |
