Rhododendron Trek is an easy trek for all levels of people including children, youth and elderly. No precaution for AMS is necessary as the maximum altitude attained during this trip would be only 3193m. /10,473 ft at Poon Hill. The trek offers majestic panoramic view of Dhaulagiri, Annapurna & Manaslu Mountain ranges.  Nonetheless, if you are concerned about or would simply like to check out few facts about any forms of AMS please refer to “Altitude illness” by Dr. Jim Duff  who has provided detailed information about altitude sickness and the ways to prevent them.

Preventing altitude sickness when trekking in Nepal:

• Ascend slowly to altitudes above 2500m.
• Take 48 hours to acclimatize when ascending above 2500m.
• Avoid alcohol or sleeping pills.
• Drink plenty of water or herbal tea (no alcohol or coffee).
• The altitude at which you sleep should be no higher than 300m than your sleeping altitude of the previous night
