Acclimatization

This is an easy - moderate undertaking for the best part of it and  there are no prerequisite for joining this trip. Still we suggest you to take up regular walking, swimming and jogging session at least for a month before joining the trip. When trekking in the high altitude, the general rule is to keep a slow pace allowing the body enough time to adjust to the height gained every day. The higher the altitude, the less is the oxygen in the air and our body needs to adjust to this accordingly.  It is therefore essential that we allow you sufficient time for acclimatization.  Given the altitude variation though which we will be walking during our first ten days, it is unlikely that anyone of us will get affected. However, if you are still concerned about it or would simply like to check out few facts, please refer to “Altitude illness” by Dr. Jim Duff” (http://www.treksafe.com.au/medical/altitude_illness.htm) who has provided detailed information about altitude sickness and the ways to prevent them.
