    Jill

    Asked on July 7th, 2024

    I would like to make sure of a couple of minor requirements: 1. I assume all the accommodations are in hotels or lodges with private room and private bath as I do not want to stay in camps or tents or share room with others. 2. I am a vegetarian and I do not eat meat, fish, poultry or eggs but I eat dairy products and need just basic vegetarian foods, such as cooked rice, vegetables, bread, pasta, cheese, etc. I assume that is possible on this tour.

    Accommodation
    Meals
    • Penguin TravelOperator•Written July 2024

      Accommodation is in standard hotels or guest houses with breakfast included. For lunch and dinner, you are free to choose from various of restaurants. (vegetarian options are available)
