Stay in clean, simple, centrally located, locally run hotels—mostly small, family-owned properties, with larger city hotels at the start and finish. Expect compact rooms, thin walls, and occasional hand-nozzle showers; some places may lack elevators, air-conditioning, or English-speaking staff, though fans can usually be arranged on hot nights.
