Plan for High Altitude

Altitude is an important consideration in the Everest region. A responsible itinerary should allow time for gradual acclimatization and should avoid unnecessarily rapid elevation gain.

  • Plan appropriate acclimatization days.
  • Walk at a manageable pace.
  • Stay hydrated and monitor symptoms.
  • Use qualified trekking support where appropriate.
  • Carry suitable insurance and emergency planning.
