High Altitude Awareness u0026amp; Safety Protocolu003cbru003eu003c/strongu003eI acknowledge that this trek involves high-altitude conditions, and I may experience symptoms related to altitude sickness or reduced oxygen levels. I understand that for my safety, the trek leader has full authority to assess my condition at any stage and may require me to descend to a lower altitude if continuing is considered unsafe.u003cbru003eI understand and agree that: Routine health monitoring will be conducted at camps, including checks of oxygen saturation (SpO₂), pulse rate, and blood pressure.u003cbru003eIf my vital readings fall outside the safe range for a particular altitude, the trek leader may restrict my ascent or remove me from the trek, without any entitlement to a refund.u003cbru003eThe accepted safety parameters for each altitude are defined by GoAdven India and are available with the trek leadership team.u003cbru003eTerrain, Fitness u0026amp; Trek Leader’s Authorityu003cbru003eI am aware that this is a physically demanding high-altitude trek involving uneven, rocky, snowy, and challenging terrain.

High-altitude trekking places significant stress on the cardiovascular system. With increasing age, this stress may increase the risk of serious or life-threatening complications, particularly for individuals with a history of high blood pressure or heart-related conditions.u003cbru003eb. A Treadmill Test (TMT) provides a clear medical assessment of cardiovascular fitness and helps determine readiness for high-altitude trekking. This test, along with proper fitness preparation, significantly improves trek safety.u003cbru003ec. GoAdven India encourages trekking for all age groups while prioritizing safety. This protocol has been introduced solely to reduce health risks and ensure a safe and successful trekking experience.u003cbru003ed. I agree to submit a valid Treadmill Test report within 7 days of trek registration.u003cbru003eIf the report confirms healthy cardiovascular function, I may continue with the trek and focus on fitness preparation.u003cbru003ee.
