Altitude Sickness
While going to high altitudes Parts of your trips are above 2500 meters/9200 feet where it is common for travelers to experience some adverse health effects due to the altitude - regardless of your age, gender and fitness. Take it easy, and follow our suggestions to reduce the sickness effects. The altitude problem is very common for everyone who arrives at the high altitude region from a lower altitude area, but some are affected seriously and some are not, so there is a certain way to prevent it or minimize its effect by preparing before you go to the highlands. Here we have listed some tips that we had experienced in the past years.

Mental preparation and altitude sickness is also can help psychologically, so you should take it very normally and keep your mind in a comfortable state. Keep your body physically fit, so exercise regularly and make yourself physically fit. Sleep well and rest well on the day before you arrive at a high altitude. Take everything slowly for the first couple of days when you arrived in high altitude region, walk slowly and try to sleep lower altitude first. Drink enough water and avoid alcohol.
