Altitude Sickness:
Symptoms of Altitude Sickness may start once you reach 1500-2000 meters and upwards. If you gain altitude rapidly without letting your body adapt to the thin oxygen at higher altitudes, you are most likely to suffer from Altitude Sickness. But if you plan for acclimatization days to your itinerary, you are good to go.
The itinerary includes acclimatization days to avoid Altitude Sickness. The sickness is common at high altitudes. Please note that sickness is a topic to be taken very seriously. Here are some few extra preventions:
Avoid climbing rapidly, give your body some time to adjust
Drink more water, not less than 5 liters a day
Eat more, eat often, and eat healthily
Listen to your body, do not ignore symptoms
Do not skip acclimatization days
Be prepared in case of an emergency
