The distance is 161 km, a driver might give you a lift for £40-50, but you will need some time to ask around. There is a bus, but it is too much of a bother. Hiring a car is probably best, but you need to be brave: you will find the world's most dangerous drivers on the roads there. Not to mention ...

Of course you might be better off booking through a tour company, as it will also be cheaper, considering lift-pass and equipment.
