All the explorations take between 2800 and 4700 meters above sea level (9186 to 15719 ft) for which you will require special acclimatization to help you adjust to the altitude. All explorations require suitable clothing for active outdoor pursuits, and it’s recommended to bring all the necessary Sun protection. The key to comfort and warmth is layering.
