About Altitude Mountain Sickness, Trekking in Nepal Himalaya


                                                                                                                                              

       
Altitude Mountain Sickness
If you are looking for Nepal Himalaya trekking, you must know about Acute mountain sickness.  The pleasures of trekking in the world's highest mountain ranges cannot be overstated. Neither can the dangers. Altitude sickness can occur in some people as low as 8,000 feet, but serious symptoms do not usually occur until over 12,000 feet. Even then it is not the height that is important, rather the speed in which you ascended to that altitude. 


Acute mountain sickness (AMS) is actually more common in fit young men because they are more likely to attempt a rapid ascent by racing up the mountain like some indestructible super hero! As a general rule, it is far safer (and more enjoyable) to avoid altitude sickness by planning a sensible itinerary that allows for gradual acclimatization to altitude as you ascend, (you can race back down as fast as you like!).

Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS)
AMS is very common at high altitude. At over 3,000 meters (10,000 feet) 75% of people will have mild symptoms. The occurrence of AMS is dependent upon the elevation, the rate of ascent, and individual susceptibility. Many people will experience mild AMS during the acclimatization process. The symptoms usually start 12 to 24 hours after arrival at altitude and begin to decrease in severity around the third day.

 
The symptoms of Mild AMS include:
  • Headache
  • Nausea & Dizziness
  • Loss of appetite
  • Fatigue
  • Shortness of breath
  • Disturbed sleep
  • General feeling of malaise
Prevention of Acute Mountain Sickness.
  • If possible, don't fly or drive to high altitude. Start below 3,000 meters (10,000 feet) and walk up.
  • If you do fly or drive, do not overexert yourself or move higher for the first 24 hours.
  • If you go above 3,000 meters (10,000 feet), only increase your altitude by 300 meters (1,000 feet) per day, and for every 900 meters (3,000 feet) of elevation gained, take a rest day to acclimatise.
  • Climb high and sleep low! You can climb more than 300 meters (1,000 feet) in a day as long as you come back down and sleep at a lower altitude.
  • If you begin to show symptoms of moderate altitude sickness, don't go higher until symptoms decrease.
  • If symptoms increase, go down, down, down!
  • Keep in mind that different people will acclimatise at different rates. Make sure everyone in your party is properly acclimatised before going any higher.
  • Stay properly hydrated. Acclimatisation is often accompanied by fluid loss, so you need to drink lots of fluids to remain properly hydrated (at least four to six liters per day). Urine output should be copious and clear to pale yellow.
  • Take it easy and don't overexert yourself when you first get up to altitude. But, light activity during the day is better than sleeping because respiration decreases during sleep, exacerbating the symptoms.
  • Avoid tobacco, alcohol and other depressant drugs including, barbiturates, tranquillizers, sleeping pills and opiates such as dihydro codeine. These further decrease the respiratory drive during sleep resulting in a worsening of symptoms.
  • Eat a high calorie diet while at altitude.

Upper Mustang Trek


                                                                                                                                                       



Upper Mustang Trek is a distinctly separated region of Nepal, protected from tourism by its remote location, which only adds to its appeal for the adventurous trekker. 

Due to its proximity to the northern border it draws many historic, cultural and religious traditions from Tibet and was long a prohibited route for trekkers and still remains restricted. In the shadow of the Annapurnas, yet hidden in the folds of the Trans-Himalaya, Mustang is immersed in harsh climate, which has produced some spectacular scenery. A challenging and strenuous trek through arid desert valleys, past hidden cave shrines and into walled villages. In May our Mustang trek attends the Tiji Festival, a celebration of dance and ritual to expel demons. The Loba people of Mustang boast a proud history, dating back to the 5th Century A.D.
