# It is very important that you line the inside of your duffel bags with a big polythene sheet. Doing so will ensure, that in in the event of rain, even though your bag may get wet, your clothes will still remain dry! Your bags will be loaded on the vehicle’s roof while traveling by road.
# Batteries in High Altitude and cold weather drain out rather fast. Carry enough spares for your cameras
