Adi Kailash Yatra FAQs

An oxi-meter and first aid kit will be available with each group at all times. In case of an extreme emergency, we seek the help of a doctor available at army camps to transport the patient down to Dharchula where hospitals are easily available. Yatris might feel a little short of breath and have a mild headache, as it is quite common in high altitudes and is nothing to be worried about. Acclimatizing to the place through light movement of your body and exercise can help you tackle the problem.

In case you are feeling uneasy, inform your tour guide first and get your saturation level checked with the Oxi-Meter available with each group. In case of an emergency, we contact doctors available at the army camps and quickly get the patient down to Dharchula, as it is a resourceful area.

Permanent doctors are not available with the Adi Kailash Yatra group, as it is generally not required. A basic medical kit and Oxi-Meter are available to each group. In case of a sudden or extreme emergency, doctors from the army camps are called to handle the situation.

There are army MI rooms available on the yatra route. The patient is taken to the district hospital in Dharchula, and further if the condition is unmanageable. You can get proper medical facilities up to Dharchula, but it's not possible beyond this spot.

In case of hospitalization or any other medical emergency, yatris have to bear all those charges during the Adi Kailash and Om Parvat Yatra.

The ambulance facility is not available on the Adi Kailash & Om Parvat Yatra route. In case of an emergency, our own transport is used as an ambulance. The charges for an ambulance service may cost per head between 35,000 to 40,000.

Generally, an Oxygen cylinder is not needed during the Adi Kailash-Om Parvat trip. However, an oxygen cylinder will be available at the rest houses along with an Oxi-meter to check the saturation and help people with the oxygen shortage.
