Hire a driver
The roads to the mountainous region are mainly made up of sloping passes and are difficult to negotiate. If you as a driver are not confident about the mountainous routes, it would be best to hire local drivers to ensure the experience is not only enjoyable but also safe. You can ask your hotels and guesthouses to contact or ask local people for help.
