Eye protection
Bring goggles or sunglasses to block dust on open stretches; the guide may offer basic shields but a snug pair is best.
Arrive early
Start in the morning to get clearer air and calmer winds before afternoon thermals or rain build up.
Secure belongings
Use a zippered daypack or chest pouch—phones and loose items can bounce free on rough sections.
Respect local farms
Stay on designated tracks and avoid cutting across fields; farmers rely on these lands and routes can be fragile.
Helmet (provided but bring your own if possible)
Protects against bumps and is required by guides; a personal helmet improves fit and comfort.
Closed-toe hiking shoes
Provides ankle support and grip on footpegs and when walking on loose rock.
Wraparound sunglasses or goggles
Shields eyes from dust and glare on exposed ridgelines.
Light wind shell
Blocks wind on cooler mornings and is handy if weather turns while at elevation.
