How likely am I to get high altitude sickness?
The answer varies for everyone.
It's common to have some symptoms of the high altitude sickness the first few days. Most of the symptoms will generally disappear through acclimatization in several hours to several days. You can find more information about high altitude sickness and its precautions on our website.
However, we suggest people who suffered from high blood pressure and severe heart disease not travel to Tibet.
