How do you manage altitude sickness risks? +
TravelTaxi: We have a carefully planned itinerary that allows for proper acclimatization. Our guides are trained in recognizing and managing altitude sickness symptoms. We carry emergency oxygen, a portable altitude chamber, and comprehensive first-aid kits. It's crucial to inform your guide immediately if you experience any symptoms.
