Acclimatization on the Manaslu Tsum Valley Hiking in Nepal.
Acclimatization is an absolutely necessary part of any high-altitude travel. This is the only way your body can deal with the increase in altitude. Acclimatization helps your body produce more red blood cells; this increases the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood, thus making your body adjust to the altitude change. This process can require up to hours and even days. But it is best to not take any risk and give your body the maximum amount of rest you can. You are recommended to spend at least one night or more at every checkpoint for acclimatization. This will be just enough to lower the risk of any disease you can get at high altitudes.
