Four of us left for the Annapurna Circuit but only 3 of us made it after we summited Ice Lake. Altitude sickness is a serious thing to consider while doing high altitude treks. Even though this is a very popular and common trek to do, it can still be a serious thing to consider while trekking in the Himalayas.
This is the second part of our adventure through the Annapurna Circuit. We have traveled so far from Besisahar all the way to Manang where we did two altitude acclimatization hikes. The hardest one was going to over 15,000 ft to get to Ice Lake.

my advise to adjust at the higher altitude never carry too much of weight u are not part of a race always remember. try to do alpine climbing without carrying anything most important always carry Diamox really help to fight altitude sickness and don't eat too much like breakfast lunch and dinner ur body isn't is condition to digest that much of food try to go on liquid diet or just drink soups that is what i did on the way to Ice lake as i gained the altitude whatever i ate at night came out through my mouth i never had headache and restlessness i even slept like a baby at thorong phedi took me 5 hrs to cover the last 8 km ascend my friends were bit faster than me but as i said it is not a race

Again...beautiful footage and advocacy, but really no need to embellish. We (in our 60's) did it last December and aside from the cold...no issues. Hope your friend is okay.

Wow! At 60 that is quite impressive. For me it was quite easy too but many people (including some in our group) found it to be quite challenging, everyone has a different experience!

It happens. Sometimes acclimatisation is a bit of a lottery too. I went with my brother who runs marathons and cycles regularly to the Langtang Valley in Nepal. There was a summit day where we shot up from 3850 to 4800m in the span of a few hours. He just had to turn around less than a third of the way up for his own safety as he was showing some symptoms. That said I, the less fit guy by most standards, was completely fine and enjoyed the excursion. It can be a variety of factors that contribute to it.

1000m of elevation will definitely put your body to the test! I'm impressed you didn't experience symptoms too. There were people smoking at the top of the pass that seemed fine too so you never know...
