Quotes
Hina Khan
Television actress who shared her experience and travel recommendations for Ladakh.
“Touchwood none of us had high-altitude sickness or required oxygen; we took proper precautions, but this thin dry air gets onto you. I bled thru my nose everyday due to clot formation in my nasal passage till I got back home. Make sure you use saline nasal sprays and nasal moisturizers or gels or oil to protect and soothe your nasal passages against the dry, cold air found at high altitudes.”
