Possibilities of Altitude Sickness and Preventive Measures
Altitude sickness is a common type of issue for trekkers and travelers once they exceed 3000 meters. On the Manaslu Tsum Valley Trek, you might get the symptoms of altitude sickness from the sixth day as on that day we reach Chokangparo (3010 meters). Some of the basic symptoms of altitude sickness are nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, weakness, dehydration, etc. If you start feeling any of such symptoms, the Adventure Bound Nepal team recommends you inform the guide and take some rest rather than ignoring the symptoms and walking on.
Here are a few preventive measures for altitude sickness while on the Manaslu Tsum Valley Trekking expedition:
- Keep drinking as much water as possible to stay hydrated throughout the route.
- Maintain a steady but continuous pace rather than rushing to reach the Mu Gumpa. Remember that we are not racing against anyone and are on the Tsum Valley Manaslu Trek for enjoyment and adventure.
- Listen to the guides and porters and follow the instructions they provide throughout the Manaslu Tsum Valley Trekking journey.
- Carry light snacks and energy bars with you to eat and restore energy during the trekking route.
- Make sure that you are well-trained with endurance and acclimatization before ascending the Manaslu region.
- In case you feel difficulty during the ascend, talk to the guides and take a rest if necessary rather than hiding your issues.
