i styed at bisham continental hotel it is a reasonable hotel for family charges rs. 2000/-
as far as babu sar is concerned can't tell u in km but about 1.5 hour rough ride it all depends on driver that how carefully u drive ur car but ur luck also count as u dont what is under the ice / mud if there is a stone in mud it will hit ur car.
We stayed at rai kot sarai and its rent is rs. 3000/- per day other hotels are also there which are cheaper.
