『Important Tips』

2. Always keep your warm clothes handy and wear more layers to avoid getting cold due to elevation/temperature/pressure change.
3. Eat properly (no alcohol and be careful of local street food) and have enough time to sleep.
4. Do not stress yourself both physically and mentally/ physical preparation prior to thie trip is helpful e. Prepare medication for AMS, cold and diaries

• Weather Expectation

Temperature variation is up to 20 Celsius degrees. Weather is quite fine when sun comes out, but in the morning and evening, temperature drops dramatically. Temperature drops below 0 Celsius during midnight in colder seasons. Warm keeping is very important. Wind is heavy on the mountain. Sun proof is necessary for skin protection. Be careful in a rainy day as trail underfoot becomes slippery. “When you are in the mountain, weather changes fast”.

• Accessibility and Amenities

Traveling to the listed places will expect lower standard services at hotels and restaurants even if they are maybe the best choices. The service level is not as up to what you have in places like Chengdu. The hotel people don’t speak English nor do the people from restaurants. These places are quite far, wild but beautiful.
