Know Before You Go
Altitude affects everyone differently. Here's how elevation changes day by day, so you can prepare and stay comfortable throughout the trip.
Elevation Profile — Day by Day
Note: Altitude sickness is unpredictable — it can affect fit, young travellers as much as older ones. Fitness level does not protect you. Acclimatisation time is the most reliable prevention.
Acclimatisation Tips
Arrive a Day Early
Spend at least one extra night acclimatising before the highest point of the trip.
Go Easy on Alcohol
Alcohol widens blood vessels and worsens altitude symptoms — best avoided on high-altitude days.
Try Ginger or Garlic Tea
Local remedies served along the route are a traditional way to ease altitude discomfort.
Take It Slow
Walk at a steady pace, breathe deeply, and rest often — your guide will set the rhythm.
Stay Hydrated
Drink 3–4 litres of water a day. Dehydration makes altitude effects noticeably worse.
Ask About Diamox
Acetazolamide (Diamox) is a commonly used preventative — consult your doctor before travel.
