Q. What are the possibilities of Altitude sickness and what are the safety measures?
Altitude sickness (also known as acute mountain sickness)is an unfavorable health condition that strikes our body when we are at a high altitude (basically above 2500m). If there are any symptoms seen during the trek, firstly we will have a primary treatment to cure the sickness. First of all, we will walk down to a minimum of 150m from the location where the symptoms are seen, and walk down again if the symptoms are not improved. If the victim is unable to walk down on his/her own, we can hire a horse, or we can request our porter to carry the person. Warm water and ginger juice are also served to cure the sickness. If these treatments are unable to cure the patient, rescue can be done by helicopter.
