This is one of the most challenging high-altitude road journeys in the world, and physical fitness is essential. Individuals with asthma or heart conditions may experience difficulty acclimatizing to high altitudes. For your safety, it is crucial that you undergo a thorough examination by your doctor to assess your health and ability to endure the demands of high-altitude travel, including days in "no road" conditions, extreme cold, dust, and trekking to an altitude of 19,500 feet during the Parikrama.

In the summer, temperatures are generally more moderate, but it can still get quite cold during the night, especially at higher altitudes.

As you ascend to higher altitudes, it is common to experience symptoms of altitude sickness, such as headaches, loss of appetite, nausea, fatigue, difficulty sleeping, and breathlessness, as your body acclimates to the elevation. This adjustment period can vary in duration, typically taking a few days or longer, depending on the individual. To ensure a safer and more comfortable journey, we require all travellers to stay two nights at Mansarovar before proceeding to higher elevations. We strongly recommend staying well-hydrated, remaining calm, and refraining from physical exertion. Additionally, avoid consuming alcohol or smoking before or during the tour.
