Familiarization:
The itinerary of Pikey Peak Trek is particularly designed in view of a high degree of depreciating AMS (Acute Mountain Sickness). Normally, elevation sickness starts from 3600m/11808ft and this doesn’t create any problem below this standard. So, throughout your trip, the best solution is to go slowly with body adaptation. As we know, the more we elevate, the less oxygen we get in the air. For example, crossing high altitudes more than 5000 m/ 16400ft, 50% oxygen is deducted than at sea level. Your body needs several days to acclimatize during the travel in high Himalaya.
