We paid for a “guide” and all it did was make it so we could only see 5 of the 7 lakes- if you choose this option it’s just a walk with a slower crowd and a LOT of waiting; he offers almost no information and everything he says is on the signs. The trail is very clearly marked so I recommend just paying for the bus fare option and hiking independently. Bus was very nice, but when we showed up it was labeled bus one and we were assigned bus three which never arrived. FYI bring cash to the monastery- you can buy baked goods w levs.
