Budget and package expectations

Packing tips
Layers for cool evenings even in summer, sun protection at altitude where relevant, comfortable walking shoes, and a light rain jacket. In winter add thermal base layers, gloves, and sturdy footwear. Carry cash for small shops; confirm with your operator what is covered versus on-site extras.
