Oxygen cylinders:
​Altitude sickness, the mildest form being acute mountain sickness (AMS), is the negative health effect of high altitude, caused by rapid exposure to low amounts of oxygen at high elevation, Most cases of altitude sickness are mild, but some may be life-threatening. To ​ensure the guest safety Himalayan Holidays use the oxygen cylinders during the high-altitude treks. our all the trek leaders carry the small oxygen cylinders on their backpack, at the campsite we have bigger cylinders.
Stretchers: ​
D​uring the hight altitude treks, or Mountain climbing their also a chance of slip, fall down, ​so the guest may not be able to trek more, So Himalayan holidays carry the Stretchers during every Himalayan trek. So that we easily take the casualty to the campsite.
Walkie talkie: ​​ A Must-Have Accessory For Every Trekker In Mountains​, As per the experiences ​of Himalayan Holidays in previous treks ​every trekker has his/her own speed. ​so our one trek leader will lead the group in front and one in the last to ensure every one reach at the campsite safely, So If ever there is anything ​trek leader needs to communicate​ In front or the last fellow trekker, we can do that by the click of a button. During the expedition, our Sherpa also carries the walkie Talkies​ with some extra batteries so he can communicate directly to the team at basecamp.
