Kailash Mansarovar Yatra

Generally, people do not feel the requirement for medications during the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra. Yet, basic medicines that are commonly used are suggested for the yatris to carry with them. Firstly it is essential to carry any medications that are consumed regularly under course like for Blood Pressure, Diabetes, asthma, etc. Also, it is suggested to carry doctor-prescribed medications in case you are allergic to anything. Timely before the yatra date, all yatris are provided with a List of Things to carry for Kailash Mansarovar Yatra that has the following medicines suggested in the list.

• Diamox
• Pain Killer
• Paracetamol
• Multivitamin pills
• Antibiotics
• Mosquito Repellent
• Portable Oxygen Cylinders are suggested to carry along, it helps during the two and half days parikrama at low oxygen level places. Portable oxygen cylinders can be bought from Saga Market on the Overland route and at Purang on the Helicopter route, buying here is the cheaper and better option. 
• Camphor is also commonly used by yatris during the parikrama to feel at ease at low oxygen levels. We do not suggest or oppose the idea of whether camphor/Kapoor can be used to in the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra. It is completely yatris preference. 

The consumption of any of the above-listed medicines is suggested to be done only after a doctor’s consultation.

Although there is no restriction on carrying cigarettes and tobacco, it is advisable not to carry such things on Kailash Mansarovar Yatra because firstly Mount Kailash and Lake Mansarovar are pilgrimage places and secondly fellow tourists may not be comfortable with the same on a pilgrimage tour. Also, it is advisable to avoid such things at high altitudes as it may hamper your health.
