SAFETY PRECAUTIONS High Altitude Sickness (HAS) can affect if elevation is gained too rapidly without proper acclimatization. The symptoms of HAS are headache, difficulty in sleeping, breathlessness, dizziness, loss of appetite, nauseousness, and general fatigue. If someone develops signs of HAS, stop ascending immediately; if symptoms persist, the only proven cure is to descend to lower elevations. Doctors advise against ascending more than 400m each day once above 3,000m in elevation. Medical advice could be sought from Kunde Hospital or Pheriche Aid Post. Radio communication with Kathmandu is available at this Post. Background
