For summers, light cottons are best. In winter, nights get particularly chilly and woollens are required. Prevent sunburn by using sun protection lotion with high SPF. Wear dark glasses to protect your eyes from the glare of the sun on snow. Prevent hypothermia by wearing multiple layers of clothes – wool, silk and synthetic fabrics provide excellent insulation. Rule No 1 – keep extremities well covered. A woollen cap reduces the loss of body heat through the head; equally important are a thick pair of gloves and warm woollen socks. Keep dry to avoid frostbite; change out of your damp/wet clothes/socks/gloves as soon as you can. Place your sleeping bag on a water proof sheet at night, as dampness leads to frostbite and hypothermia.

Acclimatise before heading north! Watch out for mountain sickness – breathlessness, lethargy, dizziness and headaches. High altitude sickness can be treated only symptomatically, if that doesn't help, then the best thing is to descend to lower altitudes.The best way to prevent high altitude sickness is to acclimatize, ascend slowly, drink plenty of fluids, eat light meals and avoid cigarettes, alcohol and sedatives.

It's hopefully been a great tour of town .
