A modest open wilderness hut in a demanding wilderness destination. The hut is available only from October 16th to April 30th due to restrictions of getting around in the strict nature reserve. During the period from April 1st to April 30th, the arrival and departure route must be chosen so that it does not pass through the canyon area located east of the hut, where getting around is prohibited from April 1st to June 15th.

The open wilderness hut is a shared and free resting and overnight place for independent hikers (not for companies). You can stay in wilderness huts for one or two nights without a reservation. Be prepared for the possibility that there may not be enough space to sleep in the hut.

Facilities:

  • Sleeping places for 8.
  • Heating with a stove. Gas stove for cooking.
  • No drinking water point. Water from natural sources must be purified before drinking.
  • No waste management. Take your own waste out of the area.
