The Annapurna Circuit trek's difficulty level is moderate to challenging yet amazingly rewarding. Trekkers will be climbing the Thorong La pass, about 5,416 meters above sea level. There will be heavy snow and off-the-beaten-trail conditions, so it will be challenging to trek. There will be chances to have altitude sickness and breathing difficulties during the trek. However, altitude sickness and other difficulties can be prevented and minimized. You must have proper acclimatization, eat plenty of carbohydrates, and drink safe water. Trekkers can have Diamox with the prescription of a medical doctor during the Annapurna Circuit budget trek. The Annapurna Circuit trekking route is challenging yet adventurous and rewarding.

Altitude Sickness During the Annapurna Circuit Trek

The Annapurna circuit trek offers you the best Himalayas views, and it will take you to the Thorong La pass, which is 5,416 meters above sea level. Indeed, altitude sickness is an acute mountain sickness (AMS) due to low levels of oxygen and extremely cold weather. Trekkers will have difficulties breathing during the high-altitude trek. Altitude sickness occurs at elevations of 2500 m or 3000 m and above. Some trekkers, like beginners, could experience altitude sickness even at 2,500 meters. However, altitude sickness can be prevented by doing proper acclimatization, following climb high and sleep low rules, pre-exercising, and consuming plenty of water and carbohydrate-rich food. If you get altitude sickness, the symptoms will be headache, dizziness, nausea or vomiting, weakness, loss of appetite, shortness of breath, etc.

Trekkers can prevent altitude sickness by descending 300 m to 1000 m, using Diamox with the advice of a doctor, or calling for emergency help. The Touch Planet Treks guide will be handling any unforeseen circumstances in a professional way. Trekkers follow the prevention rules to avoid altitude sickness. You can have proper acclimatization, consume 3 to 4 liters of safe drinking water every day, and eat plenty of carbohydrate-rich food. Moreover, you can do cardio and hiking exercise before the trek, always follow the climb high and sleep low rule, use proper trekking gear, keep your body warm, etc. Trekkers need to be disciplined during the mountain trek. The Thorang La Pass trek is a challenging but beautiful and rewarding trek, so beginner trekkers will have to follow the guide and mountain rules.
