Oxygen and Medical Kit Rental

Most healthy travellers who ascend gradually never open a cylinder. It is carried for the minority of cases where someone deteriorates, and for routes above 17,000 ft where there is no help nearby. Think of it the way you think of a spare tyre.

A 1L or 2L canister suits a couple staying around Leh and Nubra. Groups heading to Pangong, Hanle or Umling La usually carry a 5L or 10L cylinder in the vehicle, since it gives far longer duration for a genuine emergency.

No. Our kits contain first-aid supplies only. Altitude medicines such as acetazolamide are prescription drugs — speak to your own doctor well before you travel and bring what they prescribe. We do not supply or advise on prescription medication.

It relieves symptoms and buys time. It is not a cure. The only reliable treatment for worsening altitude sickness is to descend, and to do it quickly. If someone develops confusion, breathlessness at rest or a persistent cough, get them lower and to a doctor immediately.

We demonstrate the whole setup at handover — attaching the regulator, fitting the mask, setting flow rate — and the kit includes a printed one-page guide in English and Hindi.

Yes, within our operating areas. Call the 24/7 line and we will dispatch to your location. In a genuine emergency, call us and start descending at the same time — do not wait in place for the delivery.

A flat daily rental with a refundable deposit. Refillable cylinders are billed for gas actually consumed; unopened single-use canisters are not charged at all.

No. Compressed gas cylinders are not permitted in cabin or checked baggage on commercial flights. Return everything to us in Leh before departure.
