HEALTH PRE- CAUTION
Normally, at higher altitude area in Tibet including Kailash and Manasarover Lake, the amount of oxygen is less. Certain illness such as loss of appetite, mild headache, nausea, tiredness, breathlessness, general uneasiness, high irritability, light loss of balance, disorientation, incoherence and insomnia etc may be induced in the windy weather and high altitude area which generally is not encountered over the plains.
This kind of symptoms can be seen in anyone irrespective of their age, sex and physical fitness. Tranquilizers, sleeping dose and strong anti-biotic must be avoided during Kailash tour and gradual acclimatization is the most and best solution for these symptoms while some of them may also be indicating the readjusting of our body to new environments. Here are some best advices that you should consciously follow to avoid such risks.
- Rest, Breathe easy, climb down, do not apply, be excited
- Speak less, Observe silence with smiling every time if possible
- Walk at your own speed– adopt one third of your speed and space.
- Take 10 minutes rest after each 30 minutes walk, keep your load light
- Stop immediately whenever you feel uncomfortable and relax for a while
- Do not engage yourself in outbursts of fellow pilgrims, avoid arguments
- Too high and too fast are both harmful. So follow guide’s advices
- Never proceed with an empty stomach and consume plenty of liquids and quality snacks
- Enjoy your favorite music, Bhajans, chanting etc in the earphone and you can chant a prayer or visualize everything around to suit your pleasant thoughts
- It is better to be over clothed than under protected to avoid catching a cold
- Bathing or drinking water from Lake Streams or rivers en-route should be avoided as your system is not habituated for this
- Avoid dust and direct sunshine during the long stretches of driving. Face, feet and hands must be well protected
- The jagged ground, steep slope and slushy banks are full of potholes. Be careful while walking and sightseeing together
