  • Medications: Consult with a healthcare professional about taking acetazolamide (Diamox) as a preventive measure against altitude sickness. Carry any necessary medications for relief of symptoms.
  • Descend if Necessary: If symptoms worsen or become severe, it's important to descend to a lower altitude. Do not ignore signs of altitude sickness, as it can be life-threatening if left untreated.
  • Oxygen: In case of severe altitude sickness, supplemental oxygen may be required. Some trekking agencies provide portable oxygen cylinders as a precautionary measure.
  • Rest and Listen to Your Body: Take breaks when needed, listen to your body, and communicate any symptoms to your trekking guide or group members. Don't push yourself beyond your limits.
  • Insurance: Ensure you have travel insurance that covers emergency medical evacuation in case of severe altitude sickness or other health emergencies.
  • Pre-existing Conditions: If you have pre-existing medical conditions, consult with a healthcare professional before embarking on the trek to assess your suitability and discuss any precautions or considerations.
