⚠️ Pitfall Tips
Save money, time & hassle
Altitude ~3,000 m
Take it easy on arrival—no sprinting, drink water, skip alcohol, rest if you feel off.
Big day-night swings
Summer days hit the 20s (°C) but nights can near freezing—pack a warm jacket or shell.
Walk prayer wheels clockwise
Circle prayer wheels and monasteries clockwise; remove hats indoors, no photos in halls, no pointing at statues.
Book Zhagana early
Guesthouses sell out in high season—book ahead and double-check tickets and rooms.
Safe driving, remote roads
Sights are scattered along mountain roads; a hired car or self-drive is best, and go slow in rain or snow.
