HAP (High Altitude Porters)

HAP (High Altitude Porters) are experienced workers who carry supplies, equipment, and sometimes injured individuals in mountainous regions, especially at high elevations like the Himalayas. Due to reduced oxygen levels and challenging terrains, they are trained to work efficiently and safely in extreme conditions. Their role is crucial for expeditions such as mountaineering climbs, rescue operations, and supplying remote high-altitude areas. HAPs possess specialized skills in navigating difficult routes while managing their physical limits in an environment where oxygen is scarce and weather conditions can be severe.
