On treks that involve going to high altitude in excess of 3500m, there is always a possibility for Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS). However, this is not something that you should worry too much about, since the human body is quite capable of adapting to a very wide range of altitudes.

In most of our treks, you will ascend higher than 4000m (summits) then descend below 3500m on the same day. Slow accent and plenty of water intake is the best way to prevent altitude sickness. Our experienced guide will make sure that you acclimatize successfully, or take appropriate actions if AMS symptoms appear.
