High Altitude sickness occurs when your body cannot get enough oxygen due to the lower air pressure at elevations above 3,000m, especially if you ascend too quickly. It is a common condition that can affect anyone at any time, regardless of fitness level. While there is no need to be nervous, it is vital to stay attentive to your body.
Recognizing the Major Symptoms: If you experience any of the following symptoms, stop your ascent immediately:
1. Persistent headache or dizziness. 2. Nausea or vomiting. 3. Loss of appetite.
4. Difficulty sleeping.
What to Do? If symptoms appear, do not climb higher. The best remedy is to descend to a lower altitude as soon as possible. In the meantime: Hydrate: Drink plenty of hot fluids. Nutrition: Eat garlic soup (a local remedy believed to help with circulation). Rest: Give your body time to acclimatized and rest.
Our Safety Guarantee: Most trekkers feel better after a day of rest or a slight descent. However, if your condition does not improve, your guide will take immediate action. In serious cases, we can arrange an emergency helicopter evacuation from 'nearest place' Kathmandu, Lukla, or Pokhara within a few hours to ensure your absolute safety.
Travel Insurance & Rescue: Unfortunate illness or injury can happen to anyone, anywhere. In the remote mountain regions where we trek, your safety is paramount. Because ground transport to the nearest clinic can be slow, we rely on rapid aerial response.
• Helicopter Rescue from 'nearest place' Kathmandu, Lukla or Pokhara offers the fastest rescue service but is extremely expensive.
• Action Required: We strongly advise you to issue a comprehensive travel insurance policy from your home country or in Kathmandu. Your policy must specifically cover emergency helicopter evacuation and medical expenses at high altitudes (up to 6,000m. depending on your route).
