The Pamir Plateau is at an altitude of 3,000-4,000 meters. Anti-altitude sickness medication such as Rhodiola should be prepared in advance;
Temperature differences between scenic areas are large, so even in summer, a windbreaker is necessary;
The itinerary may be reasonably adjusted upon mutual agreement (e.g., due to weather or policy changes).
