Failure to produce them might lead to extra fees, underscoring the importance of abiding by the established rules.

Nevertheless, having a guide is highly recommended, not just to enrich your experience with local insights but primarily for enhanced safety.

However, it can get a bit windy in the afternoons, especially after 2 pm, due to the geography. To prepare, pack layers for temperature changes, wear sturdy boots, and make sure you have the required permits. Choosing autumn or spring ensures an enjoyable trek with beautiful views and safe conditions.

Though not always asked for, having proof of insurance is a smart move, especially in the remote and challenging areas of the trek where medical help is limited.
