It is important to be prepared for a wide variety of illnesses, infections and minor injuries. Proper vaccinations and a well-stocked med kit are a great start.
As a general rule of thumb, you will need Typhoid, Tetanus and Hep A. Please check with your GP however for any current advice on vaccinations for the country you are visiting.
We do not believe it is necessary to use malarial prophylactics if most of your time will be spent above 2500m, and mosquito bite is not a significant problem in Kathmandu or Tibet, however, again, you should check this with your GP.
Please check also with you GP about the latest recommended antibiotic and altitude medications. We will provide a more comprehensive list to you and most medications are widely available in Nepal, India & Pakistan at a considerably lower price than at home.
For excellent and up-to-date resources we recommend the following

| I have been with FTA on 2 occassions to K2 and BP. I have no issues with them and agree with the comments on success rates in general on 8000M peaks. The weather is a huge factor and cant be blamed on the guides/Agencies etc. Chris , Ben and Fabrizio are great guys to spend a summer with. I would recommend FTA to anyone with aspirations to climb an 8000M peak. |
