00:07so prepare for potential altitude sickness before you visit.
00:10Number two, I was surprised to find out that despite them being a very popular tourist destination,

00:19Number three, it's not ideal for kids.
00:21The harsh conditions make it a challenging destination for little ones,
00:24so save this trip for when they are much older.

00:30You can bring little props or trust your guides to direct you to take the best memories from your trip.
