When we travel to the north near the sea where there is less pollution and a lot of fresh air, i find the skin colour of my son much better and other people have the same comment.
Definetly there is something, maybe has to do with the percentage of oxygen in the air, i really don't know.
Was the place you went too above sea level??? Generally the hb inceases in high altitudes and it tends to decrease in a span of 15 days when you go back to normal altitudes

Hb rises at high altitudes, as the body's way of compensating for less oxygen in the air. There will be a noticeable change after about 3 weeks.

Murree's altitude is 7500 feet above sea level.
