Acute Mountain Sickness AMS
 The onset of Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS), sometimes called 'Altitude Sickness' is possible above 3,500m. and is an important consideration while trekking into high altitudes. The root cause of altitude sickness is the reduction in oxygen at higher altitudes and can set in when ascents are made too rapidly at elevations above 3,500m.

India Notes  Nearly five thousand years ago India's first
major civilisation flourished along the Indus River valley. From the perpetual snows of the Himalayas to the rich and fertile peninsula of the
South. From the deltas of the East to the deserts in the West. From the blistering dry heat of the Central Plateau to the cool forest foothills,
Indian architecture, Holy Temples, Indian lifestyle itself, always serves to glorify its own geography. Their food, their clothing and habits as
Indians are different in every different place we visit.

Testimonials

My travel in North India was an experience that has affected my approach to life. I know this because my wife of 40 years tells me so. I went on a 26 day motorcycle ride from Delhi ...to the Nubra desert and across to Srinagar. We crossed passes at about 18,000 to 19,000 feet. Here I experienced altitude sickness, though it seems this is nothing to do with age or fitness or heath of the sufferer. My guide was Peter Francon. |
