Note: This trek involves a little bit of AMS (Acute Mountain Sickness) and in some case HAPE and HACE too may occur. Although there are good and comfortable lodges along the entire trek route, beginners should be a little careful if initial signs of AMS are visible. We met a few people enroute who suffered from the sickness and decided to return. For experienced trekkers and climbers, this trek is a fairly easy one.
