Itinerary description

7 day 6 night trek completed in 2016 (March-April) with a guide and horseman. Very high altitude throughout, very cold night time temperatures (-13 deg C). Path is approximately digitised, not exact but camps are placed correctly.

Views are breath taking, so is the elevation!

    Is this route too dangerous or complicated? I see in the map a couple of steep parts

    Sem dúvida, uma baita travessia! Super cansativa em função da altitude, porém com paisagens de tirar o fôlego! Aclimate bem antes de encarar a trilha. Bons equipamentos são extremamente necessários, bem como bom vestuário!

    Great to hear someone else has ventured on this trail! Glad you made it safely, the altitude sure is tiring - very important to climatise for a couple of days first
