Acclimatization or acclimation as per wikipedia is the process of an organism adjusting to change in its environment, allowing it to survive changes in temperature, water and food availability, other stresses and often relates to seasonal weather changes.
Climbing high altitudes, its very essential that your body adjusts to the environment there. I realized this during my failed attempt to trek to the origin of River Ganga.
During the winter trek to Dalhousie, our camp organizers made us walk on the first day. It made us ready for the grueling three days trek later.
We started quite early and as the sun shined on the Dalhousie road, there was a slight drizzle.
And we, kept on walking!
