How do I prevent altitude sickness during the Khopra ridge trek?

How do I prevent altitude sickness during the Khopra ridge trek?

The highest point on Khopra ridge trek is 4,500m (14,764ft.) and is very suitable for beginner to advanced trekkers who can walk 5 to 6 hours per day with a light backpack. Altitude sickness is exceptional and rather rare on this trek but sometimes walking at a bit higher altitude may cause unexpected illness. Although there are no major risks involved on this trek, some of the tips to overcome the altitude sickness, as recommended by our trekking leaders are as follows:

  • Slow ascend with proper rest and enough acclimatization
  • Drink plenty of water and stay hydrated at all times
  • Eat sufficiently a healthy balanced diet during the entire trek and sleep well
  • Avoid alcoholic beverages, cigarettes and tobacco products on the trek
  • Be head-strong and mentally prepared
  • Train your body to cope with uphill hikes with enough cardiovascular or gym workouts, at least 3 months prior to the trek
