Avoid visiting places on the same day when you get to higher altitudes. Acclimatise and only then get to places which requires climbing.
Any level above 8000 feet above sea level one can experience altitude concern
High hemoglobin levels can lead to dizziness, fatigue, easy bruising and other symptoms.
At higher altitudes such as on top of a mountain, the air is less dense and this means that the partial pressure of oxygen is lower. Hence, the fall in atmospheric pressure at higher altitude decreases the partial pressure of inspired oxygen
High altitude environments can be debilitating to unacclimatized individuals exposed to elevations above 3,000 m (9,843 ft) for periods ranging from several hours to days. Moderate hypoxia induces substantial alterations in physiological and psychological parameters within a few hours
