I never had AMS problem but i always have been traveling with these natural laws of how to travel in the Mountains. After watching your videos we also stayed at Leh for 72 hours just to rest ourselves. I took the plenty of water. Also I always carry glucon D which really works for me or some ors with me. And also I would like to have light meals while traveling. And I am always fond of slow pace traveling or giving ease between the days. Hate those itineraries where people take you in group and make you travel too many places in shorter period of time. After too many bad experiences nowadays I travel solo or either with one or two person. But you make always nice videos and give us so many information with proper details.
Same here buddy 😊 I also use Black Ginger powder apart from the things you mentioned. This increases Nitric oxide in your body without any side effects.
DHEERAJ, you are an extraordinary content creator..without any dramatic and artificial presentation or click bait kind of thumbnails, you always provide the aspiring travellers with all the CRITICAL information.. AUTHENTICITY and SOBRIETY along with subtle HUMOUR are your striking qualities as a content creator. A LADAKH or a SPITI trip does require these precautions regardless of the age.. Nothing can be taken for granted..like what we often do on a NANITAL or MUSSORIE trip.
Just read your blog and that's how I found your channel. Immediately subscribed and thank you very much for taking your time and giving such valuable information bro! You are doing a wonderful job! Wishing you all the very best and waiting for more videos. Thank you once again!
Very good information n guidelines.thanks very much. I have been 6 times .4 times i had bad experience almost in die. I don't know how I escaped. 2 time bad experience in serchu, 2 time in rtning nubra to leh , n one time in amarnath yatra mahagunas top . 3 times almost gone to heaven. Also planning once again with slow moving on high altitude.
Very informative video sir. Mai 17th June manali leh highway se leh pohchi thi with my mother and brother. They suffered from ams. Very bad experience. Srinagar pohoch ke hi aram mila.
Excellent job done by u Dheeraj.. AMS is a real threat to life if it hits u.if it is mild no problem but when it affects seviourly its is advisable that you should have leave that place immediately and come back to a plane area and meet a doctor and it is a also advisable in thar case again don't go to high altitude regions..
Very informative video sir.Mai 25 june 2022 ko Kaza mei tha aur raat ko muje ams ho gya tha.muje pata k raat kaise nikali.maine kafi pani piya aur body ko warm rakha saans lene mei kafi problem ho rahi thi.ams ko bilkul bi ignore nahi karna chahiye.
There is no proof around it. Breathing exercises may surely help but have not heard any link between being regularly fit in general will help you but with AMS there seemed to be no relation
@@discoverwithdheeraj thanks..do you have any info that whether bus to Chushul will return to leh on same day or not..basically I want to visit Chushul (Rezang La War memorial) on Wednesday and then want to back leh on the same day
Very Detailed information making people aware about AMS. I don't know if this question is right or not but which month of travel has lesser chances of AMS. Please suggest.
Thank you! Well, if you go in summer time, that will help your body not worry about cold conditions and secondly there will be variety of soft drinks you can choose to drink throughout the day.. so there isn’t any correlation between month of travel and AMS, the above two points will indirectly helps your body battle any chances of AMS
It was d.....x (beep sound), very informative video bro. Must tips for every leh traveler, last one O-2 cyl and oxymeter I must say it's 100% mandatory. I have carried o2 cyl every time but never used. Bro good job. Thks for sharing informative tips for travelers
Very informative video Dheeraj Bhai. Reminded me of my first night in Pangong Tso when I was hit by mild AMS. The biggest problem with AMS is you never know when and whom it would hit, until it does.
Thank you Subir bhai and yes, we all can take precautions at level best and that’s all we can do with our hectic trips.. hard to find a way out of it. Well said!
Hello..thanku for all the information. We are travelling to ladakh next month, wanted to check if the below itenarary is fine from AMS pov and in general since we will be flying to leh from Delhi: Day 1 : Leh
Day 2 : Leh/ Lamayuru/ Kargil / war Memorial Drass Day 3: Kargil / / Hall of Fame/ Magnetic Hill/ Sangam Point Leh (235 kms)
Day 4 : Leh /Nubra Valley via Khardongla. 125km.
Day 5 : Turtuk excursion (Former Baltistan) Day 6 : Disket/ Hunder/ Pangong Lake (Via Shayok)
Day 7 : Pangong-Tsomoriri Lake. Day 8 : Tsomoriri/ Korzok/ Tsokar/ TanglangLa/ leh Day 9 : Departure: Leh/ Delhi
Hi Prarthana, this looks OK to me, just that in first couple of days till you return to Leh please do not exert yourself and do keep everyone hydrated!
I was in Leh in June 1st week travelled via Road. Till Leh it was ok not much AMS felt. Although Blood O2 level fell to 85. Stayed 2 nights there. After that went to Pangong Tso. That’s where it fell to 75 for me and 69 for wife. Then it hit like a rock. Breathlessness But it wasn’t critical. Enjoyed with that Blood O2. Level. Nubra valley was a cakewalk compared to these two. Although level was 85 but by then we were acclimatized. Also we were taking Dimox twice a day to counter AMS with plenty of water. Bottomline. AMS can be countered by meds , plenty of water and inhibiting body movement that require sudden spurt like running , brisk walking etc.
Thanks a lot.. are you talking about this video? It is AMS video buddy.. Not sure what places you are talking about but in both English and Hindi playlists of this channel I have covered almost all places of Ladakh except few left out intentionally which will be published when the right time comes.. but I would be happy to learn from you too.
Very good information and help those who are planning to travel to high-altitude areas. We will definitely keep your advise in mind as we are planning to go to Leh Ladakh in our car. Thanks
Dheeraj bhayya Very useful information for those who are planning to travel at high altitudes.They make sure that very helpful to us who are planning to ladakh spiti valley to take advices and precautions once again thanks bhayya.
Dheeraj ji, just saw your informative blog.Thank you, Almost all doubts have been cleared.I am 65+ from Kolkata, please tell me, whether we are allowed to carry portable oxygen cylinder in flights.
That is so good to know sir.. well you cannot carry those best is to get oxygen cylinder that can last about 3-4 hrs on rent in Leh and get it in taxi Small cylinder do not help much
Dheeraj bhai thanks for this informative video.WE are planning a motorcycle ride via Srinagar from 8th September please describe a route srinagar to srinagar covering Nubra umlingla pangong please.Waiting for your reply
Bhai, please check video of mine: ruclips.net/video/4Se3aQfRovw/видео.html Follow the itinerary as described, just that instead of exiting from Tso Moriri on Leh Manali Highway, you will need to come back to Leh from Tso Moriri and then continue as described in the video to Kargil and back to Srinagar. Watch the video till end to include both Hanle and Umling La
Ur right. They force us to take Oxygen Cylinder with us. That's why last time we had to buy oxygen cylinder in 700 rs from Leh Market hence we did not need it.
Hello Sir Your videos are very informative. Me and my husband are planning to visit Leh from 1st July till 8th July, covering Leh-Lamayuru and Moonland- Nubra- Siachen Base Camp - Pangong - Hanle - Leh Below is our tentative itinerary Day 1: Arrival in Leh Day 2: Leh to Lamayrur and back to Leh + Leh Local Sightseeing Day 3: Leh to Nubra Valley Day 4: Nubra Valley to Siachen via Panamik Hot Spring Day 5: Nubra Valley to Pangong Tso Day 6: Pangong to Hanle Day 7: Return to Leh from Hanle Day 8: Return to Delhi I have a few questions : 1. Are there any changes to the itinerary you would recommend? 2. Is there sufficient acclimatisation in Leh (approx 2 days as Layamuru is at a lower altitude than Leh) 3. Since we plan to visit Siachen Base Camp and stay 1 night in Hanle, do we need oxygen cylinder? If yes, what capacity is generally sufficient? Any other feedback is welcomed.
Here are my inputs Better stick to just Sham Valley on Day 2, Lamayuru will be stretching too much. Instead of Siachen base camp I will suggest you opt for Turtuk.. better in terms of views and time spent. Rest looks good. Regarding acclimatization, just dont exert for first few days and ensure well hydration
We visited Ladakh area including Tsomoriri during July 3-10th via Manali-Leh highway. We used Homeopathic medicines for AMS. We never faced any problems as Homeopathic medicines worked so well for all 6 of us. We started to take few altitude and oxygen levels adjusting medicines few days before reaching Leh. I recommend everyone to consult good Homeopathic doctor for AMS problems when you are going for higher altitude places.
I went to nathu la pass and bum la pass .. both come under extremely high altitudes .. i didn't feel any shortness of breath or any other symptoms but still i always take 1 day break every 200-300 km .. so that my body gets acclimated perfectly
Thanks bhai me abhi spiti trip karke vapas aya hu 18 june ko meri wife ko her din hi vomit hoti thi gadi me gya me shimla side se hi per fir bhi dikket ho rhi thi kai family ko mene kaza se vapas trip chod ke ate bhi dekha per finaly mene apna spiti cirkit pura kiya shuru ke 2.3 din meri wife ne dimox or avomine bhi li thi per fir bhi dikket aa rhi thi bad me mene medicine dena band ker diya to vah fir thoda better feel karne lagi
Ams is real guys,just 2 days nefore i went to ladakh,i did feel lack of oxygen,dizziness,nausea ,lack of appetite ,literally all symptoms ,but then i overcame all of that
Excellent information Dheeraj! Thanks a lot so much. Would like your views on my questions - I am travelling with family to Leh from Hyderabad by road via Manali next month. Stopping at Keylong for the night. This is my second trip to Ladakh , the first one was via Srinagar and we couldnt do Leh-Manali then as the road was not opened. This time planning to do Manali-Leh for both onward and return journey. I am reaching Keylong directly from Swarghat. Can I proceed to Leh next day? or would it be better to stay at Keylong for one more night?
Ladakh Travel series is available in English as well. Here is the link to all videos: English - Complete Leh Ladakh Travel Guide ruclips.net/p/PLbP3YPaoEEM4EK1DAtGcrSPVeuK-449SL
Dheeraj, As you suggested pangong lake tangtse is the nearest point where we should move to, in case of AMS. Similarly can you suggest for "Tso moriri" and "Hanle". And is there any way to do day trip only to tso moiri to hanle?
For both Hanle and Tso Moriri, I will recommend coming to Chumathang or Mahe if nothijg available at Chumathang for stay. Day trip to Hanle or Tso Moriri from Leh is too too hectic
Thank you for your excellent advice.We r planning to visit Leh during lst week of September. Re AMS we r very worried coming from a tropical country. Is it safe for a person who already suffers motion sickness will be more likely to suffer AMS
Well, there is no co-relation Jyotsna between AMS and Motion Sickness.. However, one should not confuse between too and ignore any signs. If you are hit with motion sickenss, then you may loose water with vomits which makes you dehydrated that increases the chances of AMS then... that's how you can say they may be related. For Motion Sickness, there are medicines that are available which you can take after consulting your doctor. My wife uses accupuncture bands/sea bands which helped her a lot with motion sickness.. but it helps some and doesn't help some. Worth a try locally I will say for motion sickness. Again take medicine from doctor for motion sickness and try to sit in front seats of the car, don't use screen/phone when riding.. Now for AMS I have shared lot of tips in the video itself.
Sir I am shelly from agra age sixty Heart patient with three heart procedure But celebrateted 60th birthday in spiti Valley along with my wife We were in self driven inova Now I am in hospital as my fourth heart procedure is done in pant NOW EVERYTHING IS FINE AND IN NEAR FUTURE OR MAY BE NEXT MONTH WE ARE PLANNING FOR LADAKH WHAT IS YOUR ADVICE FOR ME DELHI ROADS ARE MORE RISKY THAN HIMALAYAN
Plz check this video and then decide Leh Ladakh Trip with Old Age Parents / Pets / Asthma / High Blood Pressure [Spiti Valley - Zanskar] ruclips.net/video/jxN7smgxvKY/видео.html
It is more like taking insurance and peace of mind. You can rent the oxygen cylinder in Leh as well. It is not mandatory but sometimes taxi folks enforces it.
HI, AMAZING AND SO HELPFUL VIDEOS DHEERAJ, I NEED YOUR ADVISE. My plan is to visit leh ladakh on april 27 th 2023 for 6 nights and 7 days. we are a group of 14 people where one child is of 10 years while other are age group of 18 to 45 years. 2 night leh, 2 night nubra, 1 night pangong , and again 1 night leh. while 2 of them have bp problem and they take pills on daily basis. As there health is in good control, Do you think there can be any problems for them in the whole trip and in pangong night stay. OR can we take special precautions for them throughout the trip. TIA.
Thank you so much Sandeep ji.. I will advise you plz check these two videos of mine where I have covered these topics in detail: 1. ruclips.net/video/jxN7smgxvKY/видео.html 2. ruclips.net/video/jxN7smgxvKY/видео.html Also, I will not recommend sleeping at Pangong Lake that early in the season with such a large group. Firstly, hardly there will be any camps running that early in the season and facilities will be very basic in homestays and it will be very very cold too. It is better you stay at Tangtse instead of Pangong Lake, which is 34 kms before the lake.
Sorry about that, here is the second video Ladakh Trip with Kids | Spiti Valley Trip with Kids | 2-3-year-old Kids | 5-10-year-old Kids ruclips.net/video/NT9Z9VXvUKM/видео.html
There are two types, one is motion sickness that can occur anywhere including lower hills.. There are medicines for motion sickness that comes which you can take and try to sit in front seat than back to reduce the motion sickness. Consult your doctor for the motion sickness medicine. My wife uses acupuncture bands and it has helped her a lot. You may try them too if the motion sickness is not that bad for you. Other one is Acute Mountain Sickness that only happens when you travel beyond 10,000 feet in altitude. Above video has tips to avoid it.
Dheeraj ji, we are reaching leh on 27 Apr and as per itenary planing to stay at pangong on 30th Apr, family of 4 person including children 12 & 16 years. Is it ok to stay there, will stay in Hunder on 29th Apr. pls guide. Thanks for such a wonderful job you are doing 😊
@@discoverwithdheeraj Thanks Dheeraj Ji, we visited on 30th Apr and now completed ladakh trip and back to home very happily and safely too. You are fabulous in your content.
Hi Dheeraj, Your videos are extremely helpful in planning my 1st ever 10 days Ladakh trip. Just we 2 people. I have 1 query. I so much want to visit Chushul from Pangong and come back to Pangong on same day. Does that look ok? My husband is not interested as he had been to hall of fame and drass war memorial earlier. Also we dont have any plan for Hanle or tso moriri as it would be very hectic. I have motion sickness and not sure how I will handle AMS. I dont have any medical condition. Below is our current plan. Day 1 to 3 - Stay in Leh and local sight seeing within 10 km range. Day 4 - Stay in Hunder Day 5 - Visit Turtuk and stay in Diskit Day 6 - Stay near Pangong Day 7 to 9 - Come back Leh and visit Thiksey, Hemis monestries area. Day 10 - morning flight Please advise if it's sensible to visit Chushul and come back from Pangong.
Well, Day 1, 2 is fine but Day 3 may be you can go and visit Sham Valley and don't restrict yourself to 10 km of Leh. Day 4,5,6 looks good to me. Day 7 you can travel along Pangong Lake, go to Chusul and even a little further till Kaksang La/Mitpal Tso lake then take back route from Chusul that goes through Harong Wetlands and return either back to Pangong or stay at Tangtse to cut short journey next day. All that is doable in a day but the Mitpal Tso extension and Harong Wetland route will be little desolate/lonely as rarely people travel these routes. However, till Chusul from Pangong, many people have started taking it. Then Day 8,9 looks good and will act as rest.
@@discoverwithdheeraj Thanks for the advice. But road to Mitpal tso is not good right? All dirt road? Do you have any video covering Mitpal tso and kakasang la?
I don’t have a video but you can check with BRO checkpost ar Chusul or Nama and in last couple of year road has been made pretty Ok.. mostly tarred..and you are not going too far on that road but to an extent only upto Mitpal Tso
Tawang altitutde is 10,000 feet so most of the high altitude precautions you should follow and follow the advice in this video and it should be OK but You should check with doctor for taking such young kid because Tawang is at 10,000 feet which comes under high altitude.
I'm a cardiac patient with 2 episodes of MI and have 4 stents installed. Currently in normal health. Is it safe for me to take this trip..... I would be carrying my own oxygen cylinder
Srinagar Leh highway par Srinagar, Kargil, Khaltsi, Leh and 1-2 more in between… Manali Leh highway par only in Tandi and Keylong after Manali then directly at Karu about 40 kms before Leh Then Leh, Diskit in Nubra Valley and Tangtse 34 kms before Pangong Lake

Hi Dheeraj bhai, will karpoor (Camphor) help to prevent AMS ?
luckily my AMS during Ladakh trip was mild. Thanks alot for this video!! Now m planning Spiti valley trip in sept.😊
Good to know as long as it is negligible to mild, the trip feels so better
No AMS Problem will persist in Spiti trip ....be cautious at komic langza,kunzum pass
Not really true! People have been hospitalised here, so rather than generalizing it, please suggest a cautious approach
Sorry bhai...you are right...we have people encoutering HAPE & HACE too... Being Himachali I realised my mistake
No problem bhai just that generalizing it people may think it is not an issue 🙏.. you are right, it can happen to anyone and anybody
Brother, You have given very valuable points , very informative in details.Thank you so much.
My pleasure
Thank you for the informative video.
Happy to help bhai..
Bahot hi badhiya information
thank you bhai, jaan kar khushi hui aapko information helpful lagi
Ur right. They force us to take Oxygen Cylinder with us. That's why last time we had to buy oxygen cylinder in 700 rs from Leh Market hence we did not need it.
I think taxi union made that rule as few casualties happened due to AMS last year
Well illustrated video, Thanks.
Happy to help
Respect Dheeraj bhai ❤
Thank you bhai
Hello Sir
Your videos are very informative. Me and my husband are planning to visit Leh from 1st July till 8th July, covering Leh-Lamayuru and Moonland- Nubra- Siachen Base Camp - Pangong - Hanle - Leh
Below is our tentative itinerary
Day 1: Arrival in Leh
Day 2: Leh to Lamayrur and back to Leh + Leh Local Sightseeing
Day 3: Leh to Nubra Valley
Day 4: Nubra Valley to Siachen via Panamik Hot Spring
Day 5: Nubra Valley to Pangong Tso
Day 6: Pangong to Hanle
Day 7: Return to Leh from Hanle
Day 8: Return to Delhi
I have a few questions :
1. Are there any changes to the itinerary you would recommend?
2. Is there sufficient acclimatisation in Leh (approx 2 days as Layamuru is at a lower altitude than Leh)
3. Since we plan to visit Siachen Base Camp and stay 1 night in Hanle, do we need oxygen cylinder? If yes, what capacity is generally sufficient?
Any other feedback is welcomed.
Here are my inputs
Better stick to just Sham Valley on Day 2, Lamayuru will be stretching too much. Instead of Siachen base camp I will suggest you opt for Turtuk.. better in terms of views and time spent. Rest looks good.
Regarding acclimatization, just dont exert for first few days and ensure well hydration
We visited Ladakh area including Tsomoriri during July 3-10th via Manali-Leh highway. We used Homeopathic medicines for AMS. We never faced any problems as Homeopathic medicines worked so well for all 6 of us. We started to take few altitude and oxygen levels adjusting medicines few days before reaching Leh. I recommend everyone to consult good Homeopathic doctor for AMS problems when you are going for higher altitude places.
Thank you
Which homeopathy medicine u took
Hello Chinmay
I m Bhavesh Jain from Mumbai. By any chance can i call U? I want to visit Leh n Spiti. It will b very helpful for me to talk to u .

Best Prescription on AMS .
Thanks Dr. Brother
Keep continue.
Thank you so much bhai
thank you so much 🙂
My pleasure 😇
I went to nathu la pass and bum la pass .. both come under extremely high altitudes .. i didn't feel any shortness of breath or any other symptoms but still i always take 1 day break every 200-300 km .. so that my body gets acclimated perfectly
Thanks bhai me abhi spiti trip karke vapas aya hu 18 june ko meri wife ko her din hi vomit hoti thi gadi me gya me shimla side se hi per fir bhi dikket ho rhi thi kai family ko mene kaza se vapas trip chod ke ate bhi dekha per finaly mene apna spiti cirkit pura kiya shuru ke 2.3 din meri wife ne dimox or avomine bhi li thi per fir bhi dikket aa rhi thi bad me mene medicine dena band ker diya to vah fir thoda better feel karne lagi
thank you bhai for sharing the experience. I feel sorry aapki wife ko is sab se guzarna pada.. ye hi problem rehti hai high altitude travel ki bas.
Ams is real guys,just 2 days nefore i went to ladakh,i did feel lack of oxygen,dizziness,nausea ,lack of appetite ,literally all symptoms ,but then i overcame all of that
I am really glad that you are safe & recovered now.. thanks for sharing it and reiterating that AMS is real..
Excellent information Dheeraj! Thanks a lot so much. Would like your views on my questions - I am travelling with family to Leh from Hyderabad by road via Manali next month. Stopping at Keylong for the night.
This is my second trip to Ladakh , the first one was via Srinagar and we couldnt do Leh-Manali then as the road was not opened. This time planning to do Manali-Leh for both onward and return journey. I am reaching Keylong directly from Swarghat. Can I proceed to Leh next day? or would it be better to stay at Keylong for one more night?
In general it shall be OK to travel to Leh as well but if you have time on hand, it will be better to take rest a day before reaching Leh
Very helpful :) keep it up
Thank you 😊

Awesome Dheeraj bhai, making my job easier 😄
Thank you bhai, my pleasure
Is it safe to go Hanle from Pangong Lake via Merak Village? And also do you recommend staying in Hanle?
Yes Punam, as long as you are acclimatized at Pangong lake and before it, you can go to Hanle and stay overnight
Dheeraj, As you suggested pangong lake tangtse is the nearest point where we should move to, in case of AMS. Similarly can you suggest for "Tso moriri" and "Hanle". And is there any way to do day trip only to tso moiri to hanle?
For both Hanle and Tso Moriri, I will recommend coming to Chumathang or Mahe if nothijg available at Chumathang for stay. Day trip to Hanle or Tso Moriri from Leh is too too hectic
Thank you for your excellent advice.We r planning to visit Leh during lst week of September. Re AMS we r very worried coming from a tropical country. Is it safe for a person who already suffers motion sickness will be more likely to suffer AMS
Well, there is no co-relation Jyotsna between AMS and Motion Sickness.. However, one should not confuse between too and ignore any signs. If you are hit with motion sickenss, then you may loose water with vomits which makes you dehydrated that increases the chances of AMS then... that's how you can say they may be related.
For Motion Sickness, there are medicines that are available which you can take after consulting your doctor. My wife uses accupuncture bands/sea bands which helped her a lot with motion sickness.. but it helps some and doesn't help some. Worth a try locally I will say for motion sickness. Again take medicine from doctor for motion sickness and try to sit in front seats of the car, don't use screen/phone when riding.. Now for AMS I have shared lot of tips in the video itself.
Thank you for your prompt responses

Dheeraj Bhai, a minor correction at 10:51 regarding secret tip. You mentioned lemon and garlic, but the caption shows lemon and ginger.
Oops my bad, i meant lemon and ginger.. so sorry bhai… not sure how to fix it now 😀
Hello dhiraj hi..
Do we need to carry oxygen cylinder while traveling to nubra n pangong.
Plz guide.
I have planned trip in June first week.
Thank u .
It is more like taking insurance and peace of mind. You can rent the oxygen cylinder in Leh as well. It is not mandatory but sometimes taxi folks enforces it.
So helpful..
Thank you 🙏
Very informative. Thanks ❤

HI, AMAZING AND SO HELPFUL VIDEOS DHEERAJ, I NEED YOUR ADVISE. My plan is to visit leh ladakh on april 27 th 2023 for 6 nights and 7 days. we are a group of 14 people where one child is of 10 years while other are age group of 18 to 45 years. 2 night leh, 2 night nubra, 1 night pangong , and again 1 night leh. while 2 of them have bp problem and they take pills on daily basis. As there health is in good control, Do you think there can be any problems for them in the whole trip and in pangong night stay. OR can we take special precautions for them throughout the trip. TIA.
Thank you so much Sandeep ji.. I will advise you plz check these two videos of mine where I have covered these topics in detail:
1. ruclips.net/video/jxN7smgxvKY/видео.html
2. ruclips.net/video/jxN7smgxvKY/видео.html
Also, I will not recommend sleeping at Pangong Lake that early in the season with such a large group. Firstly, hardly there will be any camps running that early in the season and facilities will be very basic in homestays and it will be very very cold too. It is better you stay at Tangtse instead of Pangong Lake, which is 34 kms before the lake.
@@discoverwithdheeraj THANKS A LOT

Hi Dheeraj excellent video, nicely explained. I am planning to travel from Mumbai to Manali in May covering Sissu. Can there be AMS issue?
Upto Sissu it shall be fine without AMS concerns. Just stay hydrated.
Thank You for the info. Ur doing an excellent work. Keep it up and God bless you.
Thank you bhai
How to avoid vomiting while traveling in the mountains?
There are two types, one is motion sickness that can occur anywhere including lower hills.. There are medicines for motion sickness that comes which you can take and try to sit in front seat than back to reduce the motion sickness. Consult your doctor for the motion sickness medicine. My wife uses acupuncture bands and it has helped her a lot. You may try them too if the motion sickness is not that bad for you.
Other one is Acute Mountain Sickness that only happens when you travel beyond 10,000 feet in altitude. Above video has tips to avoid it.
Kindly suggest a budget hotel in Leh and pangong lake
So beautiful .
Thank you
Thanks for sharing the tips.........One question- Are tour operators are required to carry oxygen cylinder on package trips?
I don’t think they are required but you can ask them. Taxi drivers have recently started enforcing carrying oxygen cylinders with them
Very informative
Glad it was helpful!
Dheeraj ji, we are reaching leh on 27 Apr and as per itenary planing to stay at pangong on 30th Apr, family of 4 person including children 12 & 16 years. Is it ok to stay there, will stay in Hunder on 29th Apr. pls guide.
Thanks for such a wonderful job you are doing 😊
It will be pretty cold up at Pangong so make sure you go prepared with heavy woollens
@@discoverwithdheeraj Thanks Dheeraj Ji, we visited on 30th Apr and now completed ladakh trip and back to home very happily and safely too. You are fabulous in your content.
Vijay Ji, this is great news and am really happy my content was useful for your trip.. good to know you had a great trip
Hi Dheeraj, Your videos are extremely helpful in planning my 1st ever 10 days Ladakh trip. Just we 2 people. I have 1 query. I so much want to visit Chushul from Pangong and come back to Pangong on same day. Does that look ok?
My husband is not interested as he had been to hall of fame and drass war memorial earlier. Also we dont have any plan for Hanle or tso moriri as it would be very hectic. I have motion sickness and not sure how I will handle AMS. I dont have any medical condition. Below is our current plan.
Day 1 to 3 - Stay in Leh and local sight seeing within 10 km range.
Day 4 - Stay in Hunder
Day 5 - Visit Turtuk and stay in Diskit
Day 6 - Stay near Pangong
Day 7 to 9 - Come back Leh and visit Thiksey, Hemis monestries area.
Day 10 - morning flight
Please advise if it's sensible to visit Chushul and come back from Pangong.
Well, Day 1, 2 is fine but Day 3 may be you can go and visit Sham Valley and don't restrict yourself to 10 km of Leh. Day 4,5,6 looks good to me. Day 7 you can travel along Pangong Lake, go to Chusul and even a little further till Kaksang La/Mitpal Tso lake then take back route from Chusul that goes through Harong Wetlands and return either back to Pangong or stay at Tangtse to cut short journey next day. All that is doable in a day but the Mitpal Tso extension and Harong Wetland route will be little desolate/lonely as rarely people travel these routes. However, till Chusul from Pangong, many people have started taking it. Then Day 8,9 looks good and will act as rest.
@@discoverwithdheeraj Thanks for the advice. But road to Mitpal tso is not good right? All dirt road? Do you have any video covering Mitpal tso and kakasang la?
I don’t have a video but you can check with BRO checkpost ar Chusul or Nama and in last couple of year road has been made pretty Ok.. mostly tarred..and you are not going too far on that road but to an extent only upto Mitpal Tso
@@discoverwithdheeraj cool, Thanks 😊
tawang kb se kb safe hai jana ? or wha jane ke liy kya kya safety measures hain?
Tawang altitutde is 10,000 feet so most of the high altitude precautions you should follow and follow the advice in this video and it should be OK but You should check with doctor for taking such young kid because Tawang is at 10,000 feet which comes under high altitude.
Can we carry those oxygen checking machines which we used during pandemic?
Yes you can surely carry them
Thank you Dheeraj Sir
Happy to know it helped bhai
Thanks Sir Verry Important Trips
Most welcome 🤗
Thanks Dheeraj, very helpful tips
My pleasure.. it was helpful!
I'm a cardiac patient with 2 episodes of MI and have 4 stents installed. Currently in normal health. Is it safe for me to take this trip..... I would be carrying my own oxygen cylinder
I will recommend that you please consult with your doctor
Consult me for AMS. As being a Homeopathic physician I can guide you. & Thank you Dheeraj vai for those tips.
Thank you so much bhai 🙏
pls agar koi homeopath med.aati hai toh share kre naam...it will be usefull for everyone.
Slr ji leh trip me petrol pump kaha kaha per hai
Srinagar Leh highway par Srinagar, Kargil, Khaltsi, Leh and 1-2 more in between…
Manali Leh highway par only in Tandi and Keylong after Manali then directly at Karu about 40 kms before Leh
Then Leh, Diskit in Nubra Valley and Tangtse 34 kms before Pangong Lake
👌
Thanks
Are portable oxygen cylinders useful to carry with us? Which are easily available on Amazon.
No, better get a bigger cylinder that lasts few hours to get to safety.. you can rent them in Leh
