Tourist Dies From Altitude Sickness on Manali-Leh Highway

Imagine you're climbing a really tall mountain.

The air gets thinner, and it's harder to breathe.

Sometimes, people get sick because their bodies aren't used to the thin air.

A tourist named Varinderjit was traveling from Leh to Manali.

He started having trouble breathing because there wasn't enough oxygen in the air.

Sadly, he got very sick and passed away.

This happened on the Manali-Leh highway, a road that goes through the mountains.

The police have told people to be careful and maybe not go past a certain point because the air is so thin there.

They also said that if you go, you should take oxygen and other helpful things to help you breathe and to drink water.

This is a reminder that traveling in high places can be tricky, and you have to be careful!
