Before Travel to Old Silk Route, Clear Your Expectations
1. Do not expect modern facilities out there as this is an economically poor village and people out there are providing Homestay for last few years only. Rooms are standard type, running water, commode in bath room but no TV and Geyser. Hot water will be provided on demand.
2. If you have kids(below 3 years) may be someone having breathing issue we would recommend you not to stay at Gnathang Vally but stay in Zuluk and on the way to Kupup visit Gnathang and move. Alternatively you carry a portable Oxygen cylinder and Oxygen meter as well. In case any serious emergency you will get Indian Army help at most 1.5 Hrs driving interval and they are really supportive.
3. On the way to Gnathang, Kupup , Elephanta, etc. carry chocolate, hot coffee, Popcorn, Ginger cubes etc and some doctor prescribed medicine if any
4. Take good woolen cloths. When we were there at this rout at 9 am in the morning in the first week of Oct 2016 temperature was 3 to 4 degree at Gnathang.
5. Where ever you find Pine forest be sure of leech(jok). So, Walk carefully .
6. Do not think too much just take precautions and enjoy your holiday.
