If you're traveling by any method other than road, go find a doctor before you leave and get Diamox seriously get Diamox THIS WILL NOT END WELL FOR YOU IF YOU DO NOT HAVE DIAMOX. Take it from someone who had to carry his AMS-ridden wife onto a plane and deal with mud brick hospitals, unsterilized oxygen tank nosepieces, and holy-poo poo-why-are-there-lizards-in-the-bathroom. Seriously. That was WITH Diamox too. Take it easy for at least two days after you arrive, and not "only do some light sightseeing" like "recuse yourself with a book and only get up to poop and maybe to piss."

Seriously, the human body was not made to go to those altitudes at those speeds.

As the person who had to be carried onto a plane due to severe-AMS, TAKE DIAMOX! I was fine at 12,500 ft for 2 and a half weeks WITH diamox until we set out trekking. AMS is not a pleasant experience - be sure to take it easy for a while.
