For those used\u00a0to urban conditions, the cold and what it may bring can come as a bit of a shock if you\u00a0aren&#8217;t prepared. Thankfully, once you&#8217;ve followed helpful tips to prepare for it, you will find\u00a0yourself enjoying the serenity of snow-capped mountains and a cool breeze.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Medicine_for_Altitude_Sickness\"><\/span><strong>Medicine for Altitude Sickness<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The right medicine is an important component of being comfortable in an extremely cold\u00a0destination. As cold temperatures imply high altitudes for travel in the subcontinent and\u00a0some international destinations, you need to carry all the relevant medicines to offset and\u00a0prevent altitude sickness symptoms, experienced as headaches, tiredness, nausea,\u00a0dizziness, and shortness of breath, especially if you&#8217;ve ascended to high altitudes (10,000\u00a0feet\/3,048 meters) quickly.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.manahotels.in\/traveller\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/ams.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5445\" src=\"http:\/\/www.manahotels.in\/traveller\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/ams.jpg\" alt=\"Cold Destinations\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"https:\/\/manahotels.in\/traveller\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/ams.jpg 800w, https:\/\/manahotels.in\/traveller\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/ams-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Allergy_Medicine\"><\/span><strong>Allergy Medicine<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Many people who have not experienced cold weathers are surprised when they find\u00a0themselves allergic to the cold, and allergic responses include rashes, wheezing and fatigue.\u00a0Antihistamines are therefore essential to pack &#8211; they\u2019ll even keep you safe from exposure to\u00a0allergens you don\u2019t find in your normal environment.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Diet_Tips_for_Cold_Weather\"><\/span><strong>Diet Tips for Cold Weather<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">While we tend to drink less water or drink dehydrating drinks like caffeine and alcohol in\u00a0cold weathers, we need to ensure our water intake is normal. For this, soups and nourishing\u00a0broths with minimal spice usage are ideal. These will also fill you up, reducing appetite and\u00a0thus the weight gain associated with the winter. Instead of deep fried food, opt for grilled\u00a0vegetables and meat. A mixture of nuts, raisins, and peanuts is also a healthy snack. If\u00a0you&#8217;re opting for trekking, ensure you have had a sufficient amount of carbs to fuel your\u00a0day.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.manahotels.in\/traveller\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/4971319_stuff-to-read-while-youre-pretending-to_t5efe73a1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5446 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.manahotels.in\/traveller\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/4971319_stuff-to-read-while-youre-pretending-to_t5efe73a1.jpg\" alt=\"4971319_stuff-to-read-while-youre-pretending-to_t5efe73a1\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"https:\/\/manahotels.in\/traveller\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/4971319_stuff-to-read-while-youre-pretending-to_t5efe73a1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/manahotels.in\/traveller\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/4971319_stuff-to-read-while-youre-pretending-to_t5efe73a1-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Get_Enough_Sunlight_in_cold_destinations\"><\/span><strong>Get Enough Sunlight in cold destinations!<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Lack of sunlight can lead to SAD &#8211; a seasonal affective disorder that is incredibly common,\u00a0and is linked to depression, experienced in the desire to eat and sleep more, avoid being\u00a0social, and mood swings. To avoid SAD, keep your curtains open, indulge in a bit of\u00a0sunbathing, and try to get some exercise instead of staying cooped up in your hotel room all\u00a0day.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.manahotels.in\/traveller\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/mulher-viva50-tomando-sol.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5447 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.manahotels.in\/traveller\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/mulher-viva50-tomando-sol.jpg\" alt=\"mulher-viva50-tomando-sol\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/manahotels.in\/traveller\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/mulher-viva50-tomando-sol.jpg 800w, https:\/\/manahotels.in\/traveller\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/mulher-viva50-tomando-sol-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Are_you_Dressing_Warm_Enough\"><\/span><strong>Are you Dressing Warm Enough?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">While urban winters necessitate the use of layers, sub-zero temperatures will not only need\u00a0a few warm layers, but also a thick coat made of fleece, wool or fur. This will not only give\u00a0you an added layer of warmth, but also protect you from the snow or rain &#8211; you can just\u00a0shed it, let it dry, and wear it while you have some level of safety from other clothes.\u00a0It goes without saying that thermal underwear is essential for the winter but carry a few\u00a0pairs that you can change regularly. Send it off to the laundry if you&#8217;ve run out, as skin\u00a0irritations can result from sweat and dirt trapped in the thermal underwear.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.manahotels.in\/traveller\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/skier-999279_960_720.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5448\" src=\"http:\/\/www.manahotels.in\/traveller\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/skier-999279_960_720.jpg\" alt=\"skier-999279_960_720\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/manahotels.in\/traveller\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/skier-999279_960_720.jpg 960w, https:\/\/manahotels.in\/traveller\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/skier-999279_960_720-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Travelling to cold destinations is not for the faint hearted!
