Due its unique location and passing through remote areas, it is important when driving in these conditions to be prepared. The temperatures are extreme, the countryside untouched and the people warm and friendly. Although the trail is open all year round, it should be noted that winters become extremely cold here, sometimes with snowfall. This route requires low range and high clearance vehicles. 4x2 vehicles with diff lock are welcome. This one is tough on vehicle and driver, so only attempt it if you fancy a grinding, bumpy ride and a struggle.
