The area has special access and permit requirements. Wind, dust, strong sun and large temperature swings can matter as much as cold, so sun protection and layered clothing are useful.
Travel arrangements depend on permits and road or flight conditions. Respect local customs and restrictions around cultural sites.
Know before you go
- Confirm restricted-area permits before booking.
- Carry sun protection and eye protection against dust and wind.
