Tips for Altitude Sickness: 
  • Drink a lot of water while crossing high passes to avoid de-hyderation. 
  • If you are prone to altitude sickness, carry garlic soup (if possible)/ juices and keep on sipping time to time help
  • If you not feeling well then try to halt at places of lower altitude for example I have heard many people falling sick while staying at Sarchu, other option might be to stay at Jispa 
Excursions: Villages either remote or well connected you enter, any hill you climb, each and every turning of the road will lead you to an excursion to the place full of beautiful landscapes, huge barren mountains, beautiful cloud formations at the deep blue canvas of sky..
