Acclimatization

The IPT 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 3146m at Sailung. Still however, we could have a day at complete leisure in Khola Kharka, for those who wish to stay on and not go for an excursion to Thulo Sailung on the 4th day as outlined in this itinerary. 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.
