    HEALTH
    Although our itinerary will allow your body to acclimatize properly and to handle the low
    oxygen rate, we suggest you to consult your doctor before booking your trip, especially if you
    have suffered from altitude sickness, or have a heart or breathing complaint. The main health
    consideration in high altitude is Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS). You may experience some
    mild symptoms initially, such as headache, lethargy, nausea and difficulty sleeping, but these
    should lessen within a few days. For your safety, we also carry the ‘Portable Altitude Chamber’
    or ‘Gamow Bag’. A supply of bottled oxygen is carried in the vehicle at all times. For your
    service, we carry a medical kit with standard prescribed medicines along with a users’ manual
    which you can use upon your own risk. We do not take any medical liability since our staffs are
    not qualified to prescribe medicines.
