NOTES
NOTE:
- Jio /BSNL and Airtel Post-paid mobile connections are operational and roaming Prepaid SIMs are non- functional in Ladakh.
- Carry insulated water bottle with you, so that you can refill. Drinking water at regular intervals can also be helpful with AMS so irrespective of how you are traveling; ensure that you are carrying a couple of litters of water and in-taking it regularly.
- Carry enough cash as the number of ATMs in high-altitude regions is comparatively less and there are long queues at times.
- Guidelines issued by the State-Government are to be followed. Social distancing to be maintained. Frequent hand sanitization and use of mask recommended.
- Carry a little bit of dry fruits from home; some almonds, raisins and cashews. Things like chips and biscuits are these days available of most routes in Ladakh so it is not really a mandate to pack these but if you can, add a few chocolates to your packing. Dry fruits and chocolates can work as an instant energy giving snack.
- Avoid Smoking & Alcohol consumption or use it minimum. I know, this is easier said than done but it definitely helps. Even at several of the high altitude passes, you will find boards put up by Indian Army advising people not to smoke at such heights. Also stay away from any sleeping pills or anti-depressant medicines.
- Electronics Chargers of all your electronic devices. Spare Battery for your camera if you are into photography Power Bank if you plan to use your phone camera a lot. Batteries die faster than regular rate in cold environment. Spare memory cards if you are a trigger-happy person clicking pictures at every turn.
- Documents – At least one government issued identity card like Aadhar card /driver’s license/Passport. Please ensure that you are carrying both the original and a few photocopies of it. Copies of your flight tickets if traveling by air. Hotel reservation slips if booked in advance. Write down some of your emergency contacts (name and phone numbers) on a piece of paper and keep it in your wallet. I am not talking about saving it as emergency contact in your phone; but to actually write on a paper.
Passport size photographs
- Medicines for AMS in Ladakh (acute mountain sickness) Acetazolamide, also known as Diamox, is the preferred medicine. It helps your body get used to higher altitudes more quickly, and reduces minor symptoms. Take a dose of Diamox a day before you climb PLEASE CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR BEFORE TAKING THE MEDICINE. Apart from Diamox, carry some other basic medicines for headache, upset stomach, fever, cold and cough. If possible, I will also recommend carrying a small pack of glucose. If the high altitude, long hours of travel and mountain sickness start to take a toll, it can work miracles to keep you going; providing instant energy. Don’t forget to book window seat for your leh Ladakh trip, the View from the flight is so spectacular, you.
