A note before you act: entry and transport policies can change. Recheck the official source relevant to your nationality and route before departure.

Discuss personal risk before booking

High altitude affects travelers differently. Discuss your plans with a qualified healthcare professional, especially if you have an existing condition, and make sure suitable travel insurance covers the route you intend to take.

Keep the opening days light

Build a gentle arrival day and avoid treating early sightseeing as a test of endurance. Short walks, frequent pauses and a flexible return to the hotel make a stronger foundation for the rest of the journey.

Make flexibility part of the itinerary

Weather, road conditions and individual wellbeing may require a change of plan. Use refundable options where practical, keep nonessential excursions optional and follow professional guidance if symptoms develop.
