Questions and Answers
What is an Altitude Sickness?
Altitude sickness arises from the body’s response to high elevations and is characterized by hypoxia (insufficient oxygen in the blood, brain, or tissues), fluid accumulation in the lungs or brain, and cold and dehydration. To alleviate symptoms, descend to a lower altitude, keep warm, and maintain hydration, avoiding alcohol during hikes.
What are the causes of Altitude Sickness?
At sea level, dry air has 20.9% oxygen. As altitude increases, air density lowers, reducing available oxygen. At 5,500 meters, oxygen is about 50% of sea level, and only 30% at Everest’s peak. The body can adapt, but altitude sickness often begins above 2,500 meters. It’s best to ascend no more than 300 meters per day above 3,000 meters and to “climb high, sleep low.” Gradual acclimatization is key, especially for those starting quickly. Rest days at 3,000 and 4,000 meters support safe adaptation.
How to prevent altitude sickness?
- Hydration: Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated, which helps your body cope with the altitude.
- Slow and Steady: Maintain a steady, comfortable pace. Avoid rushing, even if you feel strong.
- Medication: Consider taking Diamox (acetazolamide) to help prevent AMS. Consult with your doctor before the trek.
- Awareness: Be aware of AMS symptoms, including headaches, dizziness, nausea, shortness of breath, and fatigue. If symptoms worsen, descend immediately and seek medical help.
Acclimatization Days
Some of our itineraries do not include acclimatization days, which are typically built into the standard trek to help your body adjust to the high altitudes. Due to the fast-paced schedule, trekkers must be aware of the symptoms of Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS) and take preventive measures.What are the physical requirements to join the trek?
Cardiovascular Endurance: Trekkers need strong cardiovascular fitness, with regular cardio exercises like running, cycling, or swimming to build endurance.
Strength Training: Focus on legs, core, and upper body strength using exercises like squats, lunges, and planks.
Hiking Experience: Prior hiking experience, especially at altitude, is recommended. Practice with a loaded backpack if possible.
Mental Preparation: The trek is physically and mentally demanding. Be prepared.How can I complete the trek successfully?
Preparation: Train at least 3-6 months before the trek with cardio, strength, and long hikes.
Gear: Pack quality gear, like trekking boots, warm layers, a good sleeping bag, and a fitting backpack.
Hydration & Nutrition: Stay hydrated, eat well, and carry energy snacks like nuts and dried fruit.
Listen to Your Body: If you experience severe altitude symptoms, prioritize health by descending.
Guidance: Trek with experienced guides who know the route and can support safety at high altitudes.
