Episode 10: Altitude: Recognizing and Preventing Acute Mountain Sickness

Come along for an easy day with Jason and Anne Dorthe; it’s a shorter walk as they acclimate to the increasing altitude. As they walk up, an avalanche of people are hiking back, unable to get over the high pass. Rescue helicopters fly overhead.     Immerse yourself in the sights, sounds, and smells of the day-to-day life of these remote villages as Jason and Anne Dorthe pass through. Learn about altitude sickness, how to tell if you have it, how to treat it, and what you can do to help prevent it.    Ready to tackle the high mountains of Nepal? To access the ultimate resource for hiking adventures around the world and get our FREE gear guide, check out zerototravel.com/trekking.
