Himalaya Enfield Challenge 2008

Here are some tips that we think can be useful for people who also want to make this journey:

Only drink bottled and sealed water, and don't eat raw vegetables at first. Raw vegetables are probably washed with tap water.
Prepare yourself conditionaly well, it will give you some advantage on the high altitudes.
Make sure you are well protected against dust. On dry days dust is getting everywhere in it.
A kidney belt just gives you that little extra support to the many bumpy roads.
Make sure your luggage is waterproof. Both your regular luggage and your hand luggage.
Take disinfectant handsoap with you. It is small and easy to carry and convenient to use just before you go eat.
Pay attention to what seasonal period it is. Especially with the rainy season, waterproof clothing is essential.
Take plenty of spare batteries with you. You can not charge everywhere, and electricity is rare in the night.
Make sure that the date and time settings on your camera are correct. That will keep eachothers pictures in a chronlogical order.
