Acclimatization
When NEAT plan your itinerary, we take everything into consideration about the altitude and other factors to minimize the chance of getting AMS.
Altitude gains-your trek is designed to gain around 600 meters (vertical) altitude daily.
Acclimatization - rest days are included in itinerary to help body adjust to new altitude.
Each trekker must accept responsibility and trek slowly - observe the steps at which the porters and guide walks. There are no worthwhile prizes for getting to destination in record time - generally AMS.
Treatment: Mild symptoms - staying at same altitude may resolve symptoms. If there is no improvement, descend to lower level.
Severe (HAPE + HACE) - descend immediately, as failure to do so could result in death. If symptoms persist you may need to be carried to nearest medical facility or evacuated by helicopter.
