Open jeeps can be quite cool on the road, so warm sweaters or jackets are advised.

Jeeps take us up the Shigar Valley, following the Askole road before branching westwards to follow the Basha River Gorge to the village of Arandu.
Dog sleds and Jeeps full of materials were hauled up the unpaved Castle Creek Road to build the Toklat lodge, beginning in about 1947.

Dune buggies jeeps, 4-wheel drive vehicles and motorcycles are prohibited off established trails and on roads.
The bare dusty roads consisted of red clay and the trucks, jeeps and tanks traveling 24 hours a day, soon converted the surface to a red dust that engulfed everything.
Traversing the rough roads and braided rivers is only possible with high clearance 4x4 super jeeps.

We drove in our jeeps for the next three days, up the Burma Road to Loiwing.
Jeeps take us to the road end at Askole, the last village in the valley.

There were no trails and we rode mostly on dirt roads and we frequently encountered jeeps full of tourists on a "safari.
Bicycles, trail bikes and off road jeeps are available at the nearby village to explore the wonderful tracks of this savage area.
Jeep tours on old mountain roads will take you to nearby historical mining towns.
