Follow the main trail: Rely on the experience of a guide, who knows the trail, this will ensure a safe and timely arrival at your next destination.

Don't buy bottled drinking water: Please take a permanent water bottle and use boiled or treated water.

Respect local dress standards: At a minimum woman should wear a long cloth (chest to knee) and men proper shorts in public, lodges or camp.

Don't trek alone: Avoid getting lost and minimize the risks of trekking alone at high altitudes.

Taking photos: Request permission if you plan to take photos of people. Take care to ensure your footing is safe while taking pictures in the mountains.

Bring proper clothing: Bring adequate clothing and footwear as good weather in the mountains frequently changes to rain and snow with strong winds. Before you leave, check with your guide to ensure that you are properly outfitted.

Carry out your liter: Bring a plastic bag to carry out your liter and dispose of the garbage in designated sites.
