Solution

The most appropriate pair to fill in the blanks in the sentence is "impossible . . . reasonable". The sentence would then read: "The pilgrim found it impossible to live simply under trees as instructed by his guru but had to seek shelter at night in cheap hotel rooms where he had to bargain quite hard in order to be quoted a reasonable price." This makes sense in the context of the sentence, as it suggests that the pilgrim found it too difficult to live in such a simple manner and had to resort to staying in cheap hotels, where he still had to negotiate to get a fair price.
