Sleeping bag is essential for all the trekking in higher altitudes.

Walk slowly while trekking

Don’t get excited and walk for too long duration or walk fast in the beginning days. Remember that this is not your last walking day. Additionally, walking slowly also helps in reducing the risk of AMS.

Many trekkers living in the lower altitudes highly face this problem in higher altitude. If you feel any difficulty, immediately inform your guide. We, recommend you to not walk too long and dint stay for longer time at high altitudes. Drinking plenty of water is another way to reducing AMS risk.

Keep yourself hydrated

Drinking plenty of water is a great way to reduce mountain sickness. We recommend you to drink boiled water in the higher Himalayas as the water is hard and normal purifier cannot make water 100% pure. Drink cooled water after boiling, either.
