In high altitudes some people especially those from the lower altitudes fall prey to mountain sickness, which is caused by lack of oxygen. The symptoms are head-ache, nausea, lethargy and vomiting. If precautions are not taken, sickness can develop to pulmonary edema. The immediate descent to low altitudes is the first step towards remedy. As such, while during treks we go for acclimatization halting at places. Plenty of water, lemon-juice and glucose should be taken. Smoking is not suggested in higher altitudes. Other problems associated with high altitudes are; snow-blindness and frost bites.

 
     
 

However, while during your treks, if you wish to capture the rare moments and scenic beauty to show to your families and friends back home, we suggest you to carry the cameras, which, however, require the payment of appropriate fees to the Government. Camera fees shall be paid by us and is included as the part of our service. Please note that mobile phones do not work in high altitudes.

 
     
 

Besides high altitudes if you are pursuing for tour only, then it is still advisable to have yourselves thorough medical examinations, ensuring fitness, because the change in climatic or weather conditions may sometime not be favourable to everyone. However, while during your travel with us if you happen to fall sick, then we are well prepared to take all the necessary care for you.
