I agree that riding/hiking comparably high locations would be useful. Mt Evans (4260M) makes sense. One tour operator mentions previous experience at 4000M as prerequisite or desirable (not clear from the wording).

By the way, looking around Youtube, found the following video on (automobile) travel to Hanle - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Faav0yFKzLQ
They have some good views of the road, landscapes and general area. Looks like there is river water most all the way to Hanle. At that point one is at 4300m so still some climbing to do, but not a huge distance.
