What are the chances of getting Altitude Sickness during the trip to Tibet?
Altitude sickness is a common problem for visitors to high-altitude destinations, including Tibet. The highest point you will come across in this trip is at 5,630 meters at Drolma La Pass.
The chances of getting AMS are unpredictable. It's more important to know how to deal with altitude sickness than it is to be afraid of it. You may travel to Tibet with ease if you know how to avoid altitude sickness and how to deal with its symptoms.
The common symptoms are headaches, dizziness, nausea, lack of appetite, and lack of sleep. With enough rest, avoiding smoking, alcohol, and coffee, hard exercise, and plenty of water, you can quickly overcome this height hangover and travel in Tibet with no difficulties.
If the symptoms recur, simply inform your guide, get lots of rest, and drink plenty of water, and you should be OK. Severe altitude sickness can be fatal, therefore you should go to a lower elevation right away.

Tibet is one of the world's highest countries, with an average elevation of 3,000 to 4,000 meters. It is mandatory to get insurance to have a safe and stress-free trip.
When traveling in Tibet, AMS (Acute Mountain Sickness) might arise if you are not adequately acclimatized along with unforeseen accidents. So, we highly recommend our guests to carry travel and health insurance to cover these hurdles.
