Tips:
1) Because of the high altitudes, (most of the
trip is over 5000 m above sea level) those with high blood pressure or
respiratory or heart disease may not take this trip.
2) Bring sunscreen, sunglasses and lip balm to protect your skin,
as the atmosphere is thinner, and the sun's light is stronger.
