      Superb stay

      Amal Ah

      The stay is right in the middle of bison valley town. The rooms are all clean and elegant. Excellent service and hospitality. But the location is a bit difficult to reach about 10 km road from main road with hairpin loops but nevertheless the quality of stay is worth it. If you don't mind driving 10 km via difficult hairpin loops to get to bison valley town, definitely go for it. The outdoor dining area that they have created upstairs is fantastic.

      Good.
