High-Altitude Travel Notes

The chance of altitude sickness on our trip was relatively low, but we still need to pay attention to the following suggestions.

  • Guests are advised to refrain from intense physical activity upon arrival and to avoid bathing during the first two days to support proper altitude acclimatization.
  • Please carry sun protection items such as sunglasses, lip balm, and sunscreen to protect yourself from strong ultraviolet exposure at high altitude.
  • Altitude sickness is a normal reaction at high elevations, and most travelers gradually adapt within 1 to 3 days. If you experience any discomfort, please inform your guide immediately.
  • As travel distances can be long, guests are advised to bring their own snacks and dry food to help replenish energy and maintain stamina during the journey.
  • Guests who maintain regular fitness routines are advised to suspend strenuous exercise prior to high-altitude travel.
  • Guests may consider preparing appropriate high-altitude medications in advance, based on personal needs and medical advice.
  • Keep good sleep and rest, and avoid staying up late to help your body adapt to the plateau environment faster.
  • Maintain a light and balanced diet, eat more vegetables and fruits, and avoid overeating and alcohol, as these may increase strain on the digestive system and the heart–lung function at high altitude.
  • Wear warm, layered clothing, as temperature differences between day and night can be significant at high altitude. Adjust layers as needed to avoid catching a cold, which helps reduce the risk of altitude-related discomfort.
  • If you feel unwell during the journey, try slow, deep breathing, and use the onboard oxygen supply or your portable oxygen canister as needed. In the evening, you may also consider using oxygen equipment provided at the hotel to help relieve discomfort.
  • Please remain relaxed and avoid excessive tension or anxiety, as psychological stress may also intensify altitude-related discomfort.
  • When traveling to Western Sichuan, it is recommended to take the local ghee tea which can effectively alleviate altitude sickness and enhance physical strength!
