Essential & Helpful Tibet Trekking Guide

Planning a hiking or trekking in Tibet is not as simple as planing a Lhasa tour, because the regions involved are usually remote with shortage of supply, extreme weather, bad transportation, etc. Furthermore, prepackage including hiking clothing, trekking gears, medicines, etc., is very important. But seeing from another point of thought, all the challenges are the unique rewards for the hikers.

Ama Drime region
Hi,

I'm interested in trekking through the Ama Drime range for scientific purposes and I was wondering what you could tell me about accessibility of the area as well as if you offer any guiding or logistical services and how much those would cost?

Thanks
