Water comes with it but you have to pay for any fizzy drinks (which was cheaper than most places surprisingly). And ofc our tour guide, Abdul. Kind, knows alot about the area (since he lives in the village right below) and climbs up and down the rocks like a pro ✊🏿🤧 as he should frfr. Also shout out to our driver Razza. driving so smooth, knocked all of us out.”
