BALE MOUNTAIN HOTEL

Opposite the Dodola community association's guide office, this hotel - the most decent of the small guesthouses here - offers rudimentary but well-maintained rooms (some have hot water, but it's not always available). Each room has 3 to 4 beds and a private bathroom. This is the meeting place for hikers, where excursions are planned with the ecotourism association. Option to eat in the small garden, but must be ordered in advance. Camping possible.
