Altitude Sickness
High Altitude sickness is often known as acute mountain sickness (A.M.S.) in general may occur when people ascend too quickly normally in altitudes of over 3000 m. We ensure minimal risk by building in rest days into our trekking itineraries.
Most people will feel some effect of altitude, shortness of breath, and possibly light headaches, which is fairly common. Acute mountain sickness is very different and normally involves a severe headache, sickness, and loss of awareness.
