Health and Vaccinations

What vaccinations are required for my particular trip?
As we are not physicians, we strongly encourage you to check with your personal physician or local travel clinic at least 6 weeks before embarking on your journey for up-to-date information regarding medical precautions and immunizations for your particular travel destinations.

We do provide a list of tips for staying healthy upon sign up.

Will I be affected by high altitude?
Most destinations in our region present no altitude concerns whatsoever. The vast majority of travelers to Bhutan or Yunnan, China experience no effects. If you are traveling to Tibet, Nepal, the passes of Central Asia or the Indian Himalayas, you may experience the effects of high altitude, depending on where you go and how quickly you ascend. Call a Travel Specialist to discuss concerns you may have. If you are including any of the above-mentioned destinations we will require a physician's release.
