Abstract

The British Service Dhaulagiri Research Expedition took place in March-May 2016. A total of 129 personnel took part in the expedition and were invited to consent to a variety of study protocols investigating adaptation to high altitudes and diagnosis of altitude illness. The study took place in a remote and inhospitable environment at altitudes up to 7500m. This paper gives an overview of the challenges involved, the research protocols investigated and the execution of the expedition in Nepal.
