[quote=AOPAQ ,1725]As someone who ended up in the hospital for a week due to altitude sickness in the Andes, I truly believe one must be careful. My understanding is that it can strike anyone and is not dependent on your age, fitness level etc. I think the key is to be sure to progress to high altitude slowly so that your body can gradually adjust to the change. So that would mean not travelling up to Lhasa in just one day but trying to work your way up in a few days. I hope that your schedule will allow this although I think most people adjust without too much difficulty. However, if you are one of those who doesn't, spending time in a foreign hospital is not so much fun.[/quote]
