If
you move up in altitude too fast, a syndrome known
as acute mountain sickness (AMS) can develop leading
to loss of life. The early symptoms of AMS,
particularly headache or breathlessness which should
be considered an early sign of AMS and not be
ignored.
Hence, it should never be too late to descend in the
day or night. Generally AMS occurs at any altitude
over 1,800m. But to avoid all this and keep your
self off the hazards, physical fitness and awareness
of gaining enough acclimatization before ascending
is very essential.
Travel insurance of the personal client is not
included in our cost. So, we strongly recommend you
to purchase comprehensive travel insurance.
Insurance coverage varies from policy to policy. But
it is advisable to have the insurance covering loss
of baggage/ Personal belongings, accidental injury
and travel delay cancellation.
Our treks are well planned, hygienic food served
with boiled water but still you may be sick due to
many other reasons. So, it is always better to carry
your own medical kit-boxes incase of any emergency.
Well fitting, comfortable boots and clothing will be
required for both extremes of climates. Shorts,
skirt or lightweight trousers are ideal in the heat
of the day along with T-shirt, long sleeved cotton
shirts, sunglasses & sun hat. Warm clothing, thermal
underwear, tracksuit bottoms, dawn jacket, thick
pullover, woolen sock & gloves, sleeping bags are
very essential for higher altitude.
Anyone who enjoys good health and is moderately
active can do these trips. You will be walking in
mountainous terrain and note that the initial
sections of the treks are easy for acclimatization &
walking. Perhaps even more important than physical
condition is one's stride and to understand that do
not always happen exactly as thought.
