• Observe Wildlife from a Safe Distance: While Uttarakhand boasts incredible wildlife, it’s important to observe them from a safe distance. Do not approach or feed wild animals, as this can disrupt their natural behavior and pose risks to both you and the animals.

6. Stay Hydrated and Follow Safe Water Practices

• Drink Bottled or Purified Water: Ensure you stay hydrated by drinking bottled water or purified water from reliable sources. Carry a refillable water bottle and refill it from trusted sources to minimize plastic waste.

• Seek Medical Help if Needed: If you experience severe symptoms of altitude sickness or if your condition does not improve with rest and acclimatization, seek medical assistance immediately. Prompt treatment can prevent complications.

• Opt for Freshly Prepared Dishes: Choose street food items that are prepared in front of you or made to order. This ensures that the food is freshly cooked and reduces the risk of consuming food that has been sitting out for a long time.
• Be Cautious of Unfamiliar or Uncooked Street Foods: Exercise caution when it comes to unfamiliar or uncooked street foods, especially those that may contain raw ingredients or are not prepared using heat. It’s best to stick to cooked and hot food options.

Pink floyd scores a brand new hit album with a decades-old recording.

LOS ANGELES - AUGUST 1968: Psychedelic rock group Pink Floyd pose for a portrait shrouded in pink in ... [+] August of 1968 in Los Angeles. (L-R) Nick Mason, Dave Gilmour, Rick Wright (center front), Roger Waters. Pink Floyd's The Travel Sequence - Osaka Japan 1972 debuts on the Official Rock & Metal Albums chart in the U.K. this week. (Photo by Michael Ochs Archives/Getty Images)

Pink Floyd has spent much of 2024 releasing live albums that appeal to their most ardent supporters. The band, which has been largely defunct when it comes to producing new tunes for years now, has mined their archives for special recordings, and each one has become at least a minor sales win. The group scores another smash this frame in their home nation with yet another just-dropped live set.

The Travel Sequence - Osaka Japan 1972 debuts on the Official Rock & Metal Albums chart in the U.K. this week. The title opens at No. 28 on the list of the bestselling full-lengths in the rock and metal genres across the pond.

That tally is especially busy this frame with quite a few debuts. Seven titles open higher than The Travel Sequence , with five launching within the top 10 alone. Bands like Cassyette, Simone Simons, and Nile start their latest offerings much higher than Pink Floyd—but that’s not unusual when comparing a live set and a new studio recording from a beloved band.

The Travel Sequence marks Pink Floyd’s fourth new entrant on the Official Rock & Metal Albums chart so far this year. They have also managed to debut all of the following projects on the tally in just the past few months: Live at the BBC - September 1971 (No. 24), Winterland Eclipse 1972 (No. 32), and California Sun - Live 1970 (No. 24).

Pink Floyd dropped The Travel Sequence in mid-August. It was made available to buy as a two-CD set, with one disc featuring 11 tracks, while the second includes just a handful of additional cuts that those who have been listening for years will love.
