Although the month of October has begun, sunshine in Leh is at its brightening best. I have chosen ‘sun-basking’, munching nuts, drinking lots of warm water and avoiding having tablets like disprins or ‘Dimox’ as a part of my acclimatization here along with 72 hour complete rest recommended by all those who have faced the pangs and roughness of the weather here in Leh.
The wrath of initial altitude sickness comes often uninvited and can only be kicked off by proper rest and warm food. Giving a try to meditation with some breathing exercises will surely help alternatively as it will enhance our oxygen intake in a proper way. Not to forget dabbing my face with a sunscreen lotion with a higher SPF something like 45 or even 50 even in this month makes me imagine the ‘tanning’ problems tourists face during the peak summers here. Nevertheless the sunshine is soothing and neutralizes well with the cool breeze which have of late become the expected guests for the time being.
