Travel Tips:

1. The steep mountain roads are quite difficult to identify, so a local guide is needed. You can rent a horse from the local villages to carry your baggage. Besides camping outside in the mountain, you can also choose to live in local people’s house.
2. Bring enough gears, in case you can’t find a place to shop or accommodate.
