Frequently Asked Questions
The term “how difficult” can be difficult to define indeed, as the ‘difficulty of a trek’ varies from person to person. Factors such as a trekker’s fitness level, previous trekking and hiking experience, individual capacity to adapt to new conditions, age, mental strength, and overall health influence how difficult a trek may feel. Although the trek does not require any technical climbing skills, having prior trekking experience can greatly help your body adjust to the altitude. Building good physical fitness and mental resilience beforehand is important.
Yes, altitude sickness can occur as you gain elevation. The trekking region is rugged, with steep sections of the Himalayan formations that make trekkers more susceptible to altitude-related issues. Proper acclimatization, a well-planned itinerary, slow pacing, hydration is essential.
Certain medical conditions (such as respiratory disease) or medications (such as sleeping pills) can increase the risk of altitude sickness. It is important that you inform us in advance or your guide of any medical conditions or medications before ascending to altitude. You can help your body acclimatize and reduce the risk of altitude sickness.
You are required to bring your personal and prescription medications, if any. We will provide an adequate emergency first-aid kit which your guide will carry. And, s/he has essential first-aid training to help ensure your well-being throughout the trek.
