- AMS – It is advisable to start taking the dose of Tab Diamox (1-1) for a week before you travel. It does not show the desired results if taken after you start showing symptoms of AMS. If you haven’t consumed Diamox and have an acute case of AMS, you might be required to take an injection of Dexamethasone 3 amp
- For loose motions – Tab Dependal M. If this does not help, you can take Cap. Imodium 2mg
- Asthama attack owing to acute cold – Inhaler Levolin
- For acidity or nausea – Cap. Razo D
- For allergy / reactions – Tab. Allegra 180 mg
- For motion sickness – Have a tab of Avomin 45-60 mins before you begin your journey
- For food poisoning – Tab. Norflox TZ. Some people are allergic to it and you can look at Tab. Norflox 400 as an alternate
- Carry some good old orange candies that you picked from the local kirana store as a kid. These really help in fighting the weird taste in your mouth when you feel like throwing up during the road trips
- Carry a bottle of Dettol sanitiser and few band aids

A lovely practical post on travelling to this region.
thank you!
That is quite an informative post! Just a while ago I was reading traveling to Leh with a toddler.I am still apprehensive as I read mixed reviews
I would suggest no as of now! I have seen my nephew suffering a lot duting his trip to Leh due to change of oxygen level at different locations especially at higher altitudes.
I would suggest you wait till she is 4-5.
I’ve been wanting to go here so bad ! But now I guess will have to wait for haniya to grow a few years more
yes, with small babies its not the best place. maybe once she is 4-5 🙂
I am going to come back when I plan a trip ..such an informative post and great pics,,,
