Altitude Awareness: Be aware of symptoms of altitude sickness, such as headaches, dizziness, or nausea. Descend if symptoms persist and consult your guide.

Weather Preparedness: Be prepared for sudden changes in weather, including rain or cold winds. Carry appropriate gear and extra layers.

Start Early: Begin your trek early in the day to ensure you have enough daylight to reach your campsite. Early starts also provide clearer views of the mountains.

Respect Local Culture: The villages along the trek have deep cultural roots. Be respectful towards local traditions, avoid loud noises, and seek permission before taking photographs of people or their homes.

Follow the Guide’s Instructions: The terrain and conditions can be unpredictable. Listen carefully to your guide and follow their instructions for your safety.
