    Altitude Sickness:

    PLEASE NOTIFY your HEAD GUIDE immediately if you have the following symptoms during the trek:

    1) A respiratory infection

    2) A sore throat

    3) A cold

    4) A cough

    5) A high temperature

    6) A nose bleed

    Altitude sickness occurs at times during the trek. If you have decided to take any medication for altitude, we do recommend you start taking it 3 days before reaching high altitude and continue taking it until you complete your trek. There are also many trekkers who have trekked successfully without using medication for altitude sickness.
