A mountain pass at 5400 metres high and the finishing point of the trek 'around the Annapurnas'.

My suggestion

Besides warm clothes you won't need any high altitude equipment. No cleats or ice axes: despite the altitude you won't come across any walls of ice!

My suggestion

My word of caution: respect every word of the acclimatisation rules for the altitude and don't skip the stop-overs. The dangers which you expose yourself to otherwise are real and potentially dramatic.
