Carrying Regular Medication

During the Kailash Mansarovar yatra, health has to be taken very seriously as some or other complications are likely to occur. Thereupon, carrying regular medication and any foreseen medications must carry at all times. Also, carry extra general medication (cold, headache, body pain) that can share with devotees who may need them. As a result, undergoing a medical test that can declare a yatri fit to go for the Kailash Mansarovar yatra is something that encourages. Yatris having wheezing, asthma, or past medical history of hypoxia due to any circumstances must get a certification from their doctors. Though the Chinese government has not made it mandatory, our safety should be our priority.

The Importance Of Medically Fitness

One has to be medically fit to take the Yatra and the medical tests are vital if done. The Yatris are usually between the ages group of 15 years to 70 years of age. Well, it is often that youngsters between the age group of 18 to 30 have heart-related issues. So, as it is to say that ‘’Age is just a number’’, it is quite true. We suggest having health insurance as well as travel insurance at a place before taking the Kailash Mansarovar trip.

Getting Accustomed To The Higher Altitude

With regards to the commencement of yatra, the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra usually begins from Nepalgunj airport rather than Simikot airport. Simikot airport serves the Yatris from the Nepal side of the entry. Simikot airport is at 2,818 meters above sea level. Yatri’s are to stay here for half to one day for their body to get accustomed to the higher altitude. It’s from here that the chances of hypoxia start seeping in.

Be Well Prepared For Any Health-Related Issues

The human body is a divine gift of God. It gets well adjusted to the altitude. It is always good to prepare for any health-related issues during the Yatra. To simplify, our body is made of tissues and cells. Due to hypoxia; the body does not get enough oxygen. Hence the blood cells and tissues get deprived of oxygen. Oxygen is everything for human being’s optimal health. Hypoxia leads to a lower level of hemoglobin. Also, the lower level of oxygen leads to weaker functions of the lungs leading to cardiopulmonary failure. Cardiopulmonary failure is related to the functionary of the heart artery. Other than wheezing, asthma, hypoxia, and cardiopulmonary hazards, high altitude pulmonary edema (H.A.P.E.) is a term a yatri must get to know as well. Simply put, H.A.P.E is the breathing difficulty one may face while on ascend. (Kailash Mansarovar Yatra Cost)

The Most Common Symptoms Observed By The Yatris

While being on the Kailash Mansarovar trip; post ascends of 2500 to 3000 meters symptoms such as dizziness, nausea, breathlessness, fatigue, blackouts the most common symptoms observed by the Yatris. As a potential consequence, the devotees who have shown symptoms of H.A.P.E must be extra careful. Kailash Mansarovar trip is indeed a journey one must take once in their lifetime. But not at the cost of adversely affecting their health. A basic understanding of atmospheric pressure is useful. All the symptoms shared above usually shows their prodrome in the first 3-4 days of ascending to higher altitudes.

Keep Up The Energy Level With The Acclimatization

The best practice to undertake is not to climb 400 to 600 meters in a given day to keep up the energy level with the acclimatization. Moreover, carrying oxygen tanks (oxygen bottle) is very important for every yatri. But this comes with a precaution notice. Yatri should not miss the oxygen tanks before going on the trip. You should use oxygen tanks only when acute breathlessness felt. Also walking slowly and breathing deeply helps to maintain the balanced oxygen level while on submit.

Recommendation

Mount Kailash trip requires a devotee to have a BMI of a maximum of 27. An average BMI for men and women is something between the range of 18 to 25. It’s not that devotee more than a BMI of 27 cannot commence their Kailash Mansarovar trip. It’s that breathlessness, tiredness, exhaustion levels will be higher. Also, nausea is another aspect a devotee must be knowledgeable about. Travel sickness and nausea are synonymous. Wherefore, we recommend having a light meal to avoid stomach cramps.
