• Guided hikes to stunning mountain viewpoints with local guides
• River boat tours with local boatmen, including sunset trips
• Visits to remote ethnic villages, where guests can learn directly from the people who live there

Good value for money with great views. The toilet were a bit grim but apart from that it was fine.

Good hostel. Only downside I would say is it's distance from the bus station. You have a beautiful view when you wake up. Toilets and showers are seperate from the dorms, which was perfectly fine in the beautiful weather but if it rains, I'm not so sure... Host is really friendly and helpful. For this price, can't really go wrong here.
