In addition to the participatory film made in 2016, the following supporting materials were developed in order to emphasis the dangers of high altitude sickness, its symptoms, and the ways of avoiding the illness.

1 minute Radio Jingle

The radio jingle focused specifically on high-altitude sickness and was played over Bhaktapur FM. It included 150 spots over a five-day period.

The jingle was also played over Langtang FM for a period of 7 days which included 100 spots.

Posters & Banners

The posters announced the name of the film and also carried various messages related to staying safe from high-altitude sickness.
