"Take the altitude serious (2) !" Viloyati Mukhtori Kuhistoni Badakhshon Warnings Or Dangers Tip by Trekki

I personally did not have any serious problems above 4600 m. Which amazed me, as I was not fine at all with some leftover Montezuma from Bukhara (UZ). But I had a lot of acclimatization on 2300 and 3900 m. I have heared of people who had very serious problems even at 4200 m.

Well, yes, I am arrogant while writing this. But it is the same as with drying a cat in the microwave….. if there is no label to tell you NOT to do it, the poor manufacturer can be sued.
To avoid that anyone might get the …. idea to sue poor Tajikistan when having big health problems afterwards – I place it here as warning.
