A FEW POINTS TO KEEP IN MIND BEFORE BOOKING SILK ROUTE TOUR PACKAGES

The first and most important thing to keep in mind is that "Never Expect 5 Star Luxury" during travelling Silk Route. As it is mountainous and remote destination, most of the accommodation is Home Stay with basic necessity. You can not expect luxury meal, furnitures, mineral water etc there.

If you are travelling with elderly person or Children, try to skip night halt at high altitude area. Gnathang Valley or Nathang Valley is very popular among Silk Route Travellers and popularly known the "Ladakh of the East India". Situated at an altitude of 13,500 ft. Above the sea level Nathang Valley is one of the most beautiful places during Silk Route Tour. But this high altitude can led to the dizziness, headaches and vomiting among the aged and children. So it's better to avoid this place for them and send them back to lower Zuluk or make a day sightseeing trip.

If you are a snow lover and want to make a snow man, carry good amount of woolen garments, sweaters, jackets, hand gloves, caps etc to beat the chilling cold.

Don't' forget to carry sun glasses, transparent glasses, torch, gas lighter, power bank, small knives and necessery tool box with you.

Carry adequate medicine and first aid box. It should be a must have in your list

Carry Original and Photocopy of Votar ID Cards, at least 4 copy passport size photograph for Silk Route Permit. For minor, ration card or Birth Certificate in mandatory.

Carry enough cash with you as ATM's are not adequate during Silk Route and often run out of cash / link / power supply.

Adventure lovers and Biker make sure to have valid documents for vehicles and travellers. Due to lack of valid paper, all your effort may run in vain. So proper documentation is strict compliance.

Carry your own liquor with you as no. of liquor shop during Silk Route journey is very limited.
