To prevent AMS:\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Rest on Arrival<\/strong>: Spend your first 1\u20132 days in Leh (3,500 meters) to allow your body to adjust. Avoid strenuous activities during this period.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Gradual Ascent<\/strong>: Travel to higher altitudes like Pangong Lake or Nubra Valley only after acclimatizing in Leh.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Tips to Stay Healthy<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Hydration<\/strong>: Drink plenty of water to keep your body hydrated.
