The upper trail can be exposed, narrow and cold. Conditions and teahouse availability vary by season, so avoid relying on a fixed itinerary without checking locally.
This is not a zero-risk “easy” trek simply because it is short; altitude, weather and steep terrain still require sensible planning.
Know before you go
- Check conditions on the exposed upper ridge.
- Carry waterproof layers and warm insulation.
- Do not continue upward in poor visibility or unsafe weather.
Confirm current conditions and requirements with a qualified local operator before departure.
