How do I cope with altitude sickness while hiking

One way to cope with altitude sickness while hiking is to take it slow. Give your body time to adjust to the higher elevation by ascending gradually. Stay hydrated and eat light, high-carb meals. If you start feeling symptoms, don’t hesitate to descend a bit to a lower altitude until you feel better. And remember, listen to your body—if you’re really struggling, it’s totally okay to take a break or turn back. Safety first!
