Altitude

The air gets thinner as you rise higher, which lowers the amount of oxygen in the air. Sometimes, altitude sickness, which manifests as headaches, nausea, and exhaustion, may result from this.

Our Expert Tips:

  • Settle In Gradually: Maintain a steady ascending profile to give your body enough time to acclimate to higher elevations.
  • Remain Hydrated: To aid in your body's adjustment, consume three to four liters of water each day. Dehydration can make symptoms of altitude sickness worse.
  • Pay Attention to Your Body: Keep a careful eye on your health and don't disregard any signs. It is preferable to descend to a lower altitude and recuperate if you are feeling ill.
