Make sure to ask carefully the price of anything you buy or eat, especially at the homestays! We were stupid enough to be hit with a bill for 40 RMB/person for a plate of very oily rice (shou3 zhua1 fan4) and a bowl of noodle soup (mian4 pian4). The price breakdown was 30 RMB and 10 RMB respectively. Managed to bargain our way down to 30 RMB/person, but it was still a horrible rip-off, serves us right for not asking the price in the 1st place. That certainly left a sour taste in my mouth, literally and figuratively.

Toilet facilities at the Tuva homestays are worse than non-existent. We were advised to walk to the 5-star hotel and use the toilet there, but we didn't see it... maybe we didn't walk far enough.
Also note that here're no hot showers anywhere in the park... maybe there are in the 5-star hotels. In fact no shower at all is commonplace. We endured 3 consecutive nights of having no showers because we came on overnight train and then overnight bus the previous 2 nights. :(
