Oxygen Levels on Poon Hill and Everest Panorama Trekking
Trekking in the Himalayas involves gradually ascending to higher altitudes, where oxygen levels significantly decrease compared to sea level. On the Poon Hill and Everest Panorama Trekking, trekkers start at low elevations in the Annapurna region and gradually ascend to heights around 3,860 meters at Tengboche in the Everest region. At sea level, the air contains about 21% oxygen, but as you climb, the oxygen percentage remains the same, yet the air pressure drops, reducing the amount of oxygen your body can absorb.
At Poon Hill (3,210 meters), oxygen levels are roughly 70% of those at sea level, while at the higher elevations of the Everest Panorama trek, such as Tengboche, oxygen availability drops to about 60%. This reduction means your body works harder to deliver oxygen to muscles and organs, which is why acclimatization and gradual ascent are critical. Trekking with Asiana Treks and Tours ensures proper pacing and rest days to help your body adjust, minimizing altitude sickness risks.
Oxygen Level Facts:
Sea level oxygen concentration: ~21%
Oxygen availability at 3,210 m (Poon Hill): ~70% of sea level
Oxygen availability at 3,860 m (Tengboche): ~60% of sea level
Symptoms of low oxygen: shortness of breath, fatigue, headache
Importance of acclimatization and hydration
Professional guides monitor health and provide altitude sickness advice
Understanding oxygen levels helps trekkers prepare physically and mentally for the challenges of high-altitude hiking, ensuring a safer and more enjoyable experience.
