Altitude Safety in the Himalayas

Trekking in Nepal often means stepping into high, open landscapes where the air feels crisp and the views stretch far beyond the horizon. As you gain elevation, the environment changes, and moving with awareness becomes an important part of the journey. Higher altitudes come with thinner air, and your body appreciates time to adjust. With steady pacing and good support, trekking at altitude can feel not just safe, but deeply rewarding.

Key Altitude Tips

• Acclimatise Gradually
Our itineraries include planned rest days so your body can settle into the altitude at a natural, comfortable rhythm.

• Stay Hydrated
Drinking water regularly helps you feel your best as you move higher through the mountains.

• Know the Signs
If you notice a mild headache, tiredness, or a bit of nausea, let your guide know. Sharing how you’re feeling helps us look after you and adjust the day if needed.

• Go Slow and Steady
A relaxed, consistent pace is the most comfortable way to gain height. There’s never any rush in the Himalayas.

• Guides Trained in Altitude Response
Our team checks in with you each day, using their experience to understand how you’re adapting and when small changes might help. They also carry a pulse oximeter, which allows them to keep an eye on your blood oxygen levels as part of their regular wellbeing checks.
