FAQ's
  • Risk and Response
  1. High Altitude Treks: Risk and Response A high-altitude trek calls for an adventurous attitude, but embarking on an adventurous trip without calculating the risks is utter stupidity. That’s why we have listed a few risks and the response planned by TrekPanda to minimize or address the risks in the best possible way.
  2. Risk: Altitude Before you start the trek, it is important to understand the implications of high altitude on your body. Be aware of symptoms of AMS (Acute Mountain Sickness) like mild headache, nausea, and general discomfort.
  3. Response: If you feel any of these symptoms, inform the trek leader on priority and follow his instructions. Every campsite has a stretcher, fully equipped first aid kit, oxygen cylinders to address the situation.
  4. Risk: Weather Weather is unpredictable in the Himalayas. Though we are always observant about the changing weather, no one can guarantee a snowfall, rain, or Sun. Do understand that your security is of utmost importance to us and we will not proceed any further from the campsite if the weather is not favorable.
  5. Response: The decision of the Trek Leaders and Guides to proceed or wait for the weather to get better will be final.
