Acclimatization: Proper acclimatization is crucial as the trek reaches altitudes of over 4,800 meters. Spend some time in Lohajung to acclimate, and ascend gradually during the trek to avoid altitude sickness.
Altitude Awareness: Be aware of symptoms of altitude sickness, such as headaches, dizziness, or nausea. If symptoms persist, descend immediately and consult your guide. Carry necessary medications like Diamox.
Weather Preparedness: The weather in high-altitude regions like Roopkund can be unpredictable. Be prepared for sudden changes, including snowfall, cold winds, and freezing temperatures.
