1. Before your trip

Arrival details to keep handy

Record your lodging address, how to contact your host, transport you have verified, and a backup if arrival is delayed.

What do I want to discuss with a clinician before traveling?

If altitude or a health condition concerns you, ask a clinician familiar with high-altitude travel. Do not put private medical details here.

Who will know my itinerary and how will I reach them?

2. Arrival day: make the easy plan

Arrival essentials Confirm how I will reach my accommodation and whom I can call if plans change. Make sure my phone can connect and I know the lodging address. Plan time for a simple meal, sleep, and a flexible first morning. Know where I can get medical help; check current travel advice.

If my flight is delayed or transport falls through, what is my backup?

3. The first two days: go gently

What truly needs doing now? What can wait?

Choose no more than one or two essential errands; leave time to rest.

Where will I seek help if I feel unwell?

Do not go higher while experiencing possible altitude illness. Worsening symptoms, confusion, trouble walking, or shortness of breath at rest need urgent attention. Follow current clinical guidance.

Questions for my lodging or local contact

Ask about verified transport, pharmacy and clinic locations, and how to seek emergency care.

4. Days three through seven: test a real week

If I feel well, I can try Buy ordinary groceries and note the real cost. Walk or ride a route I might use regularly, at a comfortable pace. Check access to a pharmacy and clinic, and their hours. Visit a potential neighborhood during an ordinary weekday. Make room for a class, conversation, or community event if I want to.

What felt comfortable? What needs another look?Before I book a longer stay, what would I verify?

Keep housing and visa decisions separate; check current travel guidance and your actual permission to stay.
