Altitude Sickness in the Annapurna Circuit Trek

The highest altitude trekking point in the Annapurna circuit trek is Thorong La pass, which is about 5,416 meters above sea level. The Thorong La pass is one of the most stunning high passes in the world. However, altitude sickness could occur at an altitude of 3000 meters or above. Altitude sickness could occur from Upper Pisang (3,300 m) to Muktinath (3,800 m) during the trek. For first-time trekkers, there will be a chance to have altitude sickness on the Annapurna Circuit trek. Altitude sickness is a mountain illness, which occurs due to a lack of oxygen, extreme cold weather, lack of acclimatization, and lack of enough food and drinks. Trekkers will have symptoms of breathing difficulties, headaches, nausea and vomiting, fatigue, and loss of appetite. Hence, for the first time, trekkers could have a chance to experience altitude sickness during the Annapurna circuit trek.

Although we can avoid altitude sickness by following the proper mountain trekking rules. Trekkers need to have enough carbohydrate food, drink plenty of water and soup, have proper acclimatization, follow the trek high and sleep low rules, and follow the instructions of their trek guide. Moreover, trekkers need to relax and stay calm, bring oxygen canisters, use Diamox, and trek with the group and guide. In case of altitude sickness, you need to descend to 300 to 1000 meters, get relaxed and rest, consume the medicine with the advice of a medical person, drink plenty of water, and consume carbohydrate-rich food, but if the situation is critical, seek emergency rescue. In the case of an emergency rescue, our guide will arrange the needful action. The Touch Planet Treks guide will be well-trained, and they will handle the unforeseen circumstances.

Travel Insurance for Annapurna Circuit Luxury Trek

Travel insurance for the Annapurna Circuit luxury trek is recommended; due to the high-altitude trek, rocky terrain, and off-the-beaten-path nature, insurance is required. Trekkers might have unforeseen circumstances like altitude sickness, avalanches, landslides, or unstable weather; in such cases, the travel insurance will cover the trip's expenses. Moreover, the travel insurance will cover the trekkers' health care with hospitalization bills and emergency rescue. However, you need to make sure the insurance covers the high-altitude trekking. For the Annapurna Circuit luxury trek, you need to have insurance coverage below 6,000 meters. The travel insurance will cover the emergency rescue with hospital bills and also major surgery.

Hence, travel insurance with high-altitude coverage is recommended for the Annapurna Circuit trek.
