Safety
We chose peaks and slopes by our own. No avalanche forecasting. We did avalanche tests (blocks) and had avalanche backpacks to mitigate the risk as much as possible.
Driving by car
Independent travel by Chevrolet Express passenger van V8 6.0 l rented from ironhorsenomads.com $500/10 days.
Hostile police looking to ask for a bribe for anything. Speeding 10 km/h can cost €40.
Headlights must be always on.
Ask for winter tires (they use tires with spikes as well)
Very slow driving due to many villages.
Buchanka vs. western cars
More expensive than better cars
Unreliable: friends were loosing fluids, petrol pump stopped, not working speedometer etc.
Weak heating: freezing cold.
Even 100km/h ride seems dangerous.
Two tanks with manual switching of pumps.
Best for terrain if you have good tyres.
Communication, money and habits
Exhange on airport and ATMs are OK
Really cheap data on SIM: with good prices even on the airport.
Take change, they don't give back
Cheap accomodation
They eat horses
