Avoid alcohol and smoking during the initial days
Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated
Eat light meals and avoid overexertion
Report symptoms like headache, nausea, or dizziness immediately
Follow instructions provided by your tour leader

Our itinerary prioritizes safety and includes acclimatization time before reaching extreme altitudes like Umling La Pass.

Altitude Sickness (Acute Mountain Sickness – AMS)

Traveling in Ladakh and especially to extreme altitudes like Umling La Pass (≈19,024 ft) exposes travelers to low oxygen levels. Without proper acclimatization, this can lead to altitude sickness, also known as Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS).

Common altitude sickness symptoms and causes at high elevations

Causes of Altitude Sickness

Altitude sickness occurs when the body does not get enough time to adjust to reduced oxygen pressure at high elevations.

Rapid ascent above 8,000 ft (2,500 m)
Direct travel to high-altitude regions like Leh or Umling La
Low oxygen availability (hypoxia)
Physical exertion immediately after arrival
Dehydration and alcohol consumption
Poor sleep due to altitude-related breathing changes

Note: Physical fitness does not guarantee protection from AMS.

Symptoms of Altitude Sickness

Mild Symptoms (Common AMS)

Headache
Dizziness or lightheadedness
Fatigue or weakness
Loss of appetite
Nausea or vomiting
Shortness of breath on exertion
Difficulty sleeping

Severe Symptoms (Medical Emergency)

Persistent headache not relieved by medication
Confusion or difficulty walking
Severe breathlessness or chest tightness
Blue lips or fingernails (cyanosis)
Fluid in lungs (HAPE)
Swelling of brain tissue (HACE)

Immediate descent and medical attention are critical if severe symptoms appear.

Prevention of Altitude Sickness

1. Gradual Acclimatization

Spend at least 24–48 hours in Leh before ascending higher
Follow the rule: Climb high, sleep low
Avoid crossing multiple high passes on consecutive days

2. Stay Hydrated

Drink 3–4 liters of water daily
Avoid alcohol, smoking, and excessive caffeine
Include electrolytes and warm fluids

3. Eat Light & Nutritious Food

Consume high-carbohydrate meals
Avoid heavy, oily, or junk food at high altitude

4. Avoid Overexertion

Walk slowly and breathe deeply
Avoid running or heavy physical activity

5. Medication (If Prescribed)

Some travelers use Diamox (Acetazolamide) under medical supervision. Self-medication is not recommended.

6. Oxygen Support

Carry portable oxygen cylinders for emergency use. Reputable Ladakh tour operators include oxygen support on extreme high-altitude tours.

Who Is More Prone to Altitude Sickness?

First-time visitors to Ladakh
Travelers with prior AMS history
People with heart or respiratory conditions
Those ascending too quickly without rest days

Age and fitness level do not reliably predict who will experience altitude sickness.

Altitude Sickness Risk on Umling La Pass Tours

Umling La Pass is among the highest motorable roads in the world. A safe tour itinerary includes acclimatization days, experienced drivers, oxygen backup, and avoids rushing to extreme altitudes.
