Note<br />

(Proper acclimatisation is necessary, while on a trek or climbing expedition<br />

to Nepal. Nepal’s mountainous regions are situated in very high altitudes. At<br />

higher elevations, oxygen levels drop drastically. While trekking, let your body<br />

get used to thin air before ascending higher. Going too fast too high will only<br />

leave you suffering from AMS (Acute Mountain Sickness) ! Symptoms include<br />

headache, giddiness, nausea, muscle cramps etc. If you experience any of these<br />

symptoms, descend to a lower elevation and get medical help ASAP.)
