Not really. They'd never be caught dead visiting a Buddhist shrine. But
if they did, this is how they'd travel:

This photo was taken at Emeishan, Sichuan Province, China. A famous
Buddhist  mountain, a lot of people here to pray at the Golden Summit.
It is  3099m, and seriously the mountain starts lower than 1000m. We
walked to  the top for two days, and we saw this guy on the way down.
There are a  group of people who are selling this service. This guy
obviously hired  these guys and to hike the mountain for him, wearing
a suit and texting.

I saw the same thing when I went to Kedarnath in '96. People walked, road 
horses and went up by the method you see below. Some elderly were even carried 
up in baskets carried on someone's  back.
