A
[Direct conclusion] 【Most travellers with chronic conditions can join our tours, but you must first obtain a doctor's opinion and replace strenuous climbs with cable-car sightseeing or gentler sites.】 Three things to do before you travel: ◆ Get a medical assessment: tell your doctor the actual intensity (daily walking distance, number of steps, whether you will summit) and obtain a clear yes or no.
Key points to keep in mind:
1. ◆ Carry enough medication: pack 1.5 times the trip length, split between your daypack and checked bag so a lost bag does not interrupt treatment.
2. Keep a written list of drug names and dosages to hand to medical staff in an emergency.
3. ◆ Check your insurance: standard accident policies often exclude acute illness, so choose one covering acute medical care and emergency rescue.
4. Itinerary alternatives: Companions and pacing: Henan's main mountain parks (Laojun, Yuntai and Baiyun) sit roughly between 1,000 and 2,200 metres — low to moderate altitude with no meaningful risk of altitude sickness.
Note: Double check the meeting time and meeting point one day before the trip.
