India has a mountain range that makes everywhere else feel modest.
The Himalayas don't do subtle. 🏔️❄️
Leh at 3500 metres. Spiti Valley cut off by snow half the year.
Darjeeling mist. Kedarnath pilgrims walking through conditions that would stop most expeditions.
India's mountains are as extreme as they are sacred.
And your lungs will have opinions.
🏥 India mountain travel health tips
✅ Acute Mountain Sickness can develop above 2500m, ascend no more than 500m per day once high
✅ HACE and HAPE are life threatening,  learn the symptoms before you go, not during
✅ Diamox requires a prescription, speak to a travel doctor at least two weeks before departure
✅ Dehydration accelerates altitude sickness, drink more water than feels necessary
✅ Mountain weather changes in minutes, waterproof layers are non-negotiable even in summer
✅ Helicopter evacuation from remote valleys can take days to arrange, insurance with mountain rescue cover is essential
India's mountains will humble you completely.
Respect the altitude and they will give you something unforgettable.
