This is one of the toughest treks you will ever come across. AMS is a common prone issue. Only Fit and tough Mindset people can complete this trek. All safety precautions will be taken from the TravelMyroutes Team.
It is required that the trekker has participated in any Himalayan expedition or should be physically strong with many '20km a day' trekking experience. Since, we are not coming back in the same way and visiting another lake en route, dropping out between the trek is not an option.
