Television actress Hina Khan says her first trip to Ladakh was “a test of endurance,” and that she experienced nosebleeds every day during her stay. She describes coping with the region’s thin, dry air, which she says affected her nasal passages, including clotting, and led to bleeding until she returned home. Both NDTV and other outlets report that she paired her account with travel guidance for other visitors.

Context from the reporting is that Khan says she and her companions took precautions and did not experience altitude sickness or need oxygen. She highlights acclimatisation as important and mentions carrying an oxygen backup as a precaution when travelling to remote high-altitude areas. Times of India and Free Press Journal also cite her recommendations for protecting nasal passages against cold, dry conditions, including saline nasal sprays and moisturisers/gels or oil.

The outlets largely align on the main points: daily nosebleeds during her Ladakh trip, dry air as a key factor, and her advice on preparation—such as proper layering, acclimatisation, and basic hygiene and travel essentials—while she says there were no acute mountain-sickness symptoms in her group.
