Practical planning notes
- Build in acclimatisation and do not treat a high-altitude route like a normal hill-station drive. Seek medical advice if you have relevant health concerns.
- Activity timings, entry rules and local availability can change; reconfirm them with the relevant official authority or operator.
- Carry back waste, respect religious and wildlife rules, and use authorised guides or operators where required.
