✅ Reusable water bottle – Stay hydrated, especially at high altitude.
✅ Sunglasses & sunscreen 🕶☀️ – The sun is strong at high elevations.

✅ Camera or smartphone 📸 – Don’t worry, you’ll also get professional photos, but it’s fun to capture your own moments too!
✅ Personal medication – Especially if you have altitude sensitivity or need inhalers.

Some people may experience mild altitude symptoms (like shortness of breath or headache). Please consult your doctor if you have any medical concerns or conditions, and do not take any medications unless recommended by your healthcare provider.”
