-Tips
Clothing
Casual wears and comfortable walking shoes are vital. Be sure to bring warm clothing as nights and early mornings can be chilly. Indian Pilgrims strictly advisable no Sari. Bring medicine, cosmetics, personal toilet items etc. that you will need as these are difficult if not impossible to obtain on the way. A small first aid kit is also a good idea. Also quite useful is a route map, to know where you are going and have been each day.
What to take
Winter wear: Gore-Tex material, though expensive, is highly recommended. Down jacket, raincoat or windbreakers, thermal under wears, Jackets, warm trousers & woollen shirts (cotton will also do), warm sweaters, woollen gloves, sun hat, comfortable shoes, light leather boots in case of snow, woollen balaclava ('monkey cap') & scarf/dust mask to protect your eyes & nose from dust.
Bring with you
Snacks along the way. Chocolates, dry fruit, toffees, glucose; 'namkeen' etc. Strong water bottle & water purifying tablets. Personal medical kit and Diamox tablet (for high altitude). Sun glasses (to protect your eyes from UV, which is especially strong in high altitudes). Sun block or sun screen lotion, wet tissues (Fresh-ones are excellent to wipe off the dust), clothes-line/clips, needle & thread, deo-spray (handy for smelly boots/feet and for a round of spray in the toilet tent!), toilet paper, torch & spare batteries, daypack (small shoulder bag), Camera & films, Binocular.
Health
This is one of the toughest high altitude road journeys on earth. You
must be physically fit. Generally, patients with asthma & heart problems will experience problem acclimatizing to high altitudes. It is essential you should consult with your doctor prior to this trip.
Altitude Sickness
As you are traveling over high terrain, you are likely to experience symptoms and discomfort of altitude sickness (headache, loss of appetite, nausea, exhaustion, sleeplessness, breathlessness etc.) until your body adjusts to the elevation. This can take a couple of days or more depending on an individual. For this reason alone, we have made it mandatory to stay 2 nights at Nyelam (12000ft) before moving on to the higher altitudes. Drink plenty of water, stay calm, and do not exercise. Do not drink alcohol or smoke prior to and during the tour. We also recommend you carry a strip of Diamox tablets. Do consult with your physician on the dosage. We provide Gamow bag (a special equipment to prevent sickness from high altitude) on this tour.
Currency:
The unit of Chinese currency is Yuan. Money can exchange at Bank of China at Zhangmu or from the locals at Zhangmu or Kodari. Exchange all your remaining Yuan at the end of the trip at Zhangmu itself before re-entering Nepal.
