•Health Pre-caution: Oxygen is less at higher altitudes. The inclement weather and high altitude induce certain illnesses generally not encountered over the plains. Headache, nausea, lassitude, lethargy, breathlessness, general uneasiness (malaise), high irritability, light loss of balance, disorientation, incoherence and insomnia are to name among a few. It is common to all irrespective of age, sex and physical fitness. Gradual acclimatization is the best answer. Tranquilizers, sleeping dosages and strong antibiotics must be avoided. Some symptoms do indicate that the body mechanism is readjusting to new environment.
•Route & climatic conditions: Once the voyage commences, the panoramic Himalaya and Tibet cocoon the pilgrims in their effulgence and they drift beyond the reach of a conventional world. Deep silence and eerie expansiveness rule the atmosphere. A resourceful pilgrim, however, would enjoy his every step. Route from Kathmandu to Rasuwagadi (Timure) (Nepal-China border) is narrow and scary but from the border onward roads are well maintained. The high-altitude Tibetan
terrain is dry, cold and windy. Night is colder than day. Torrential rains, strong icy winds are
common features. The average altitude is above 3,500 meters and the route covers many high
altitude passes.
