      In every campsite at the mountain we have public toilets which are clean and safe but also client can request a private toilet for additional 150$ for the whole climbing. The accomodation before and after the climbing is not included but we can book a hotel on your behalf with STO rate and you will pay on arrival. We do provide private tent to a solo client.
