Bring eye protection
Even if goggles are provided, bring thin sunglasses to double up—dust is common on exposed tracks.
Hydrate before you go
Carry a 1–2L water bottle; the dry air and physical attention required while riding dehydrate you quickly.
Layer up for wind
Afternoon crossings on the plateau can be chilly; a light windbreaker helps against dust and gusts.
Listen to the briefing
Follow your guide’s instructions on speed and passing—most incidents happen when riders get overconfident.
Closed-toe hiking or trail shoes
Protects feet from throttle heat and provides traction entering/exiting the quad.
Sunglasses and buff or bandana
Shields eyes and face from glare and dust between goggles or when stopped.
summer
Light windproof jacket
Blocks gusts on exposed plateaus, especially late afternoon.
spring
Small daypack with 1–2L water
