Sir, My wife is mild asthma patient, if we go by ponny in kedarnath and stayed there at night in kedarnath, will it be create any problem in night and in emergency what measures are taken by kedarnath health camp for breathing problem if occured.
Dear Kaushik, as Kedarnath is located in high altitude and there is always lesser oxygen levels. Mild asthama patient will not have serious problem. There are medical camps for providing first aid etc, but take a compact oxygen cylinder with you for precaution. Also in case of emergency, contact nearest medical camp.
