Fitness
The higher altitude you get, the lower the amount of the oxygen makes difficulty in breathing and walking. One needs to acclimatize their body to higher altitude. Since most of the trekking routes in Nepal are at higher elevations so one can experience altitude sickness. It is highly recommended to acclimatize your body in order to avoid some fatal obstacles though trek itineraries are carefully prepared with enough acclimatization days to avoid AMS. Mild headaches, fever, loss of appetite or stomach disorder are symptoms of altitude sickness. Trek guides are well trained to administer altitude sickness. We highly advise person with known heart, blood or respiratory diseases to consult their medical professional before joining any high-altitude treks.
