Altitude Sickness during the Luxury Nepal Tour with Everest Landing Helicopter Tour

Altitude sickness is an important consideration during the Luxury Nepal Tour with Everest Landing Helicopter Tour, especially given the high altitudes reached during the Everest Base Camp helicopter flight. Here are key points to understand and manage altitude sickness:

  • Risk at Everest Base Camp: The Everest Base Camp, a key highlight of the tour, is located at a high altitude where the risk of AMS is significant. Even a short duration at this altitude can trigger symptoms in some individuals.

Prevention Strategies

  • Acclimatization: Allow your body time to adjust to the altitude. The tour itinerary is designed to aid gradual acclimatisation, but listen to your body and take it easy.

  • Hydration: Stay well-hydrated. Drink plenty of water throughout the trip, as dehydration can exacerbate AMS symptoms.

  • Avoid Alcohol and Smoking: Alcohol and smoking can increase the likelihood of altitude sickness. It’s advisable to avoid them before and during the high-altitude segments of the tour.

  • Medication and Oxygen Support: Consult your doctor about preventive medications like Acetazolamide (Diamox). The helicopter is equipped with supplemental oxygen if needed, and guides are trained to recognise and manage symptoms of AMS.

  • Recognise Symptoms Early: Be aware of the symptoms of altitude sickness. Early recognition and response are key to managing the condition effectively.

  • Immediate Response to Symptoms: If you experience symptoms, inform your guide immediately. In most cases, descending to a lower altitude will alleviate the symptoms.

  • Travel Insurance: Ensure your travel insurance covers high-altitude activities and emergency medical evacuation as a precaution.

  • Health Check Before the Tour: Get a health checkup before embarking on the tour, especially if you have pre-existing health conditions that may be affected by high altitudes.
