Further Travel Health Advice for Nepal

Dengue Fever
Dengue Fever precautions should be taken for travel to and within Nepal. Dengue fever is caused by mosquito bites from a specific mosquito, which seems to be most active during daylight. There is no medical protection against dengue fever. What you can do is try to avoid mosquito bites and use mosquito repellent and a mosquito net. Our travel nurse will be best able to advise you.

Altitude Sickness
Due to the fact that some places in Nepal is situated higher than 2500m, Altitude Sickness could be a problem. You can obtain altitude sickness medication and practice appropriate acclimatisation and gradual ascents to counter altitude sickness. Don’t forget, its not just your climbing altitude but your sleeping altitude as well that must be considered. Our travel nurse will be able to discuss these with you and offer you the relevant advice.

Heat and Humidity
The Maldives is generally warm. It can get quite wet at some points in the year though. Check the weather for the period you are travelling, as you will need to pack adequately and take reasonable precautions.

Water Safe
Tap water in resorts may or may not be safe. It is best to check with the hotel about drinking water for the region you are staying in.

Food and Drink
In the resorts you will be able to find food that is tailored towards the tourist palate. Please be aware that this is a largely Muslim country so be respectful about alcohol consumption and fasting periods.

Animals and Insects
Lots of different infections can be spread through Insect Bites, including Dengue Fever, which is spread by mosquitoes. Symptoms can include fever, headache and severe joint, bone and muscular pain. Advice for Dengue Fever is listed above.

Health Insurance
Make sure you have health insurance in place that will cover the full range of activities you plan to undertake while in The Maldives.

Personal Safety
As most of your stay in The Maldives will be in a resort, you can feel fairly safe. As with all travelling though, be aware of your surroundings and always put your own safety first.
