We walked 150km in 7 days and carried all food, cooking equipment and tent. We had to get permission from the military (which is easy to do) as it was close to the Russian and Chinese borders and as we wanted to trek ourselves we had to rent a spot messenger which tracked our GPS points.

Thanks to www.maps.me once again for their offline maps which had most of the route apart from the 3000m valley pass. If you lose the track, which we did many times, just follow the horse and camel shit as it is a popular tourist route generally done with a tour guide with horses, camels etc. Take a satellite image map too as the valley pass is not as clear going from south to north as it is from north to south.

Weather can change instantly and it is important to be prepared. Even in summer, the nights can hit freezing, even at 2000 metres which is where most of the track is at. The wind can be very strong and constant and with rain, your hands can go numb very quickly if you do not have the right protection. We found out the hard way.
