Health Advisory for passengers travelling to ladakh: -

Take complete rest for first day of your arrival at Leh.
Your body should get used to the lower oxygen levels.
If you have a blood pressure problem, do consult your doctor before planning the trip.
Rescue and precaution for mountaineering & trekking in Ladakh Tourist undertaking mountaineering & trekking in Ladakh should take some precautions. There is no private aerial rescue agency in Ladakh & only as a life saving measure; engaging the Indian Air Force help in evacuation.
Ladakh is a high altitude cold desert with a low level of atmospheric oxygen. It is, therefore, absolutely necessary that visitors reaching Leh by air should spend sufficient time for acclimatization before engaging in any physical activity. The rarefied atmosphere may cause high altitude ailments like Acute Mountain Sickness, necessitating instant evacuation of visitors who are unable to get acclimatized.
Anyone travelling to altitudes above 10,000 ft (2,700 m) is liable to suffer from acute mountain sickness (AMS) unless properly acclimatized. The most common symptoms of acute mountain sickness are headache, disturbed sleep and loss of appetite, nausea, coughing, irregular breathing, breathlessness, lassitude and lack of concentration. If you are reaching Leh by air, it is important to take complete rest for the first 24 hours after arrival. Any kind of physical exertion is to be avoided. Smoking and drinking should also be avoided till you are fully acclimatized. Your body should get used to the lower oxygen level of Ladakh after 2 or 3 days if you have taken complete rest for the first 24 hours and as much rest as possible during the next 12 hours.
High Altitude Pulmonary Oedema (HAPO) and High Altitude Cerebral Oedema (HACO) are very serious forms of acute mountain sickness & require immediate medical attention. As a preventive measure, Tab #Diamox 250 mg should be taken at the rate of 1 tablet twice a day for 3 days, at least 2 days before coming to Ladakh or any high altitude places.[Consult your Family Doctor before taking any medicines as mentioned here]
Maintain proper hydration levels in your body. Drink water frequently. You can also mix it with electrolytes and glucose for the extra energy.
Avoid over-exertion.
Ascend slowly.
Avoid anti-depressants and alcohol.
Stay at bay from overeating.
Do not spend too much time at high altitude pass.

Important Instructions:-

Last but not the least; the following important points should be followed in order to avoid any sort of inconvenience during the tour:

Please ensure that you carry Govt issued photo identity proof- driving license, Aadhar card, Pan Card etc.
The weather is unpredictable: it’s usually windy and can go from pleasant to chilly very quickly. Wear layers instead of bulky warmers to stay comfortable at all times.
Remember to take spare batteries for your camera, as the altitude and cold will drain them out quicker.
When travelling around Leh, it’s best to avoid alcohol; drink water instead. Breathing in dry air drains the moisture from the lungs, so make sure you consume at least 4–5 litres to stay hydrated.
Do collect a hotel address card, which will have the hotel address in local language which will be of great help to you in case you get lost.
Take care of your own baggage while check-in and check-out at the airport and hotel. When traveling by coach ensure that you have seen your luggage going into the baggage hold of the coach.
Carry enough money for per day expenses.
It is advisable to leave tips/gratuities for restaurant staff, coach drivers and Guides as this is a custom prevalent in this part of the region. We request you to kindly pack your heavy luggage as well as settle your extra`s if any with the hotel the night prior to departure as this will facilitate easy check out.
Take care of the hotel property to avoid penalty, which is very harsh. When using the Hotel services and room amenities please keep in mind that the Beverages that you use from the mini bar; telephone calls and laundry and any other expenses of personal nature are extras and to be paid by you.
