The saying goes: Two's a company, three's a crowd. I've just spent 6 weeks going through Tibet and China with 3 others, two of which I didn't know at all before and it's hard at times. It was made harder by the fact that in China there is no way out, you must stay with the group.
Twice I have hooked up temporarily with one other bloke and it worked out very well.
My main advice is: be ready to part company at any moment (i.e. equipment-wise) and then you can, if there is a need. The parting can be temporary, e.g. you want to go one way to visit something or somebody and you re-join later.
My 2 c worth...
