Price is super reasonable at 270 with mostly everything included other than lunches. Bring lots of layers as it gets super cold and frigid in the nighttime’s and there are no heaters. Finally Mohammed, our guide, and Daud, our driver did an excellent job with the tour and were super fun to be around and joke with, definitely ask for Mo if you get the chance!”
