    It was my fortunate to do trek for 3 weeks crossing three mountain passes over 5,000 meters, staying in tea houses and meeting an amazing, diverse group of Himalaya region. One of the most challenging and strenuous trek (Three Passes trek) in Nepal's Khumbu region. But, I highly recommend that people who do Three Passes also visit Kala Pattar. Namche bazar one of the most trading center, last place to buy your gear, tourist town full of hotels and restaurants. Trekking in World’s tallest Mt.

Medical Facility on Everest Three Passes Trek.

We recommend that you bring some medications that you would normally use for a headache, flu, stomach problems, and other common sicknesses along with you. In addition to this, your trekking guide will also most likely be traveling with a first aid kit. Most guides are also well-versed in first aid procedures and basic medical and life aid, which they have garnered through training and experience. There are small medical stations around the villages, which can help with primary treatment. For serious medical conditions, rescue is available via helicopter. It is best to have your travel insurance checked, as medical services and rescue operations are very expensive. It is advised to carry a proper first aid kit and vital medications in your backpack to avoid possible medical circumstances.

Altitude Sickness on the Everest Three Passes Trek.

Altitude sickness can happen to anyone. At high altitudes, you have to maintain a slow and steady pace, giving your body the least amount of work to do. Once you ascend to an altitude of 3000 meters, you have to take a step further in being careful. The worst part here is that altitude sickness cannot be cured or removed in an instant. It can lead to other problems such as high-altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE)! As soon as you see the symptoms (shortness of breath, fatigue, insomnia, headache, nausea, etc.) of it, it is best to descend right away. Medications such as Diamox can help you to minimize the effects of the altitude sickness. It is better to stay hydrated, get adequate rest, and acclimatize to the location to avoid this sickness.

Acclimatization on The Everest Three Passes Trek.

The ascent in altitude will make it harder for you to go further, and you may experience problems like altitude sickness. Since you will be spending a week or more for the hike, the best possible thing to do is acclimatize to the location by spending a night or two at every checkpoint, and it is important to give your body enough time to adjust to the new atmosphere. In this process, your body can generate enough red blood cells to carry enough oxygen to get you going. This compensates for the low level of oxygen intake at high altitudes, and acclimatization lowers the risk of getting altitude sickness and any other problems you might face due to the altitude. It will allow you to maintain your body's performance across the change in environmental conditions.
