Frequest Questions

Question: Is Covid Certificate Required?
Answer: No

Question : What are symptoms of  High Altitude Sickness and how can we prevent it?
Answer : Leh is located at a high altitude - nearly 11,000 feet above sea level. As one climbs higher, the amount of oxygen in the air begins to fall, so our body needs time to adjust it. Few symptoms of AMS are:

• Headache

• Loss of appetite

• disturbed sleep

• Nausea

• nose bleeding

• coughing

• breathlessness

• exhaustion

Here are few things to keep in mind once you reach Leh.

• If you taking a direct flight make sure to rest for atleast a day. 

• Keep yourself well hydrated

• avoid drinking and smoking

• avoid any strenuous activity and if possible stay indoors on first day.

Question : Do I need to take Diamox or any other medication for AMS before arriving at Leh?
Answer : No 

Question : What happens if I start showing the symptoms of AMS?
Answer : We have emergency oxygen available which will be administered if need be. If your symptoms worsen and medical intervention is required, TGE will help you in getting to the nearest hospital. All expenses incurred including transportation to the hospital, accommodation, food, emergency evacuation have to be borne by you and TGE is not liable to pay for any.

Question : How will the weather be in July?

Question : Why is dinner not included in Day 2 and Day 6?
Answer: One of the vibrant high altitude markets that you will ever come across is in Leh. The market is an amalgamation of culture and cuisine and we want our travelers to experience just that.
