    The driver was fine. The yurt camp was so-so: we froze on the first night because we did not have enough blankets. The showers have no place sheltered from the water to store shoes. The place and the people are nice, though. Problem with the guide: on the first day, he started real fast. He could not speak English but there was also a student who could. On the second day, the student changed and the second one was no good.
