Adventures can be done both in low budget packages as well as in High end Costing, Meaning VIP or Executive Packages. Normally all operators have packages to suit all categories, Though the less one pays the less of extras in service should one expect. Travelling entails a lot of costs so when one makes a package choice one should not bargain for cheaper or fewer cost options.Travelling in a Package price a difference of as low as 50$ can drastically affect the whole Trip. The Main reason being that operational cost is in most cases very high and costly. 

For a road traveller, having a Good and new vehicle is costly in terms of purchase and operation, even insurance cover for comprehensive packages are expensive. This forces the operator to be obliged to charge as per overheads incurred. Though travelling in a properly covered asset brings more assurance of safety and risk cover, most inland roads bring high maintenance costs and having qualified personal entail cost.
