Training & Preparation
It’s fairly easy to prepare and train for any venture in the outdoors, whether a short 1-2 day trip or a longer multi-day trek.
• I recommend city dwellers walk up and down stairs to strengthen their legs and simulate walking uphill. Besides that, stamina-building activities like running and cycling can also help. Even when using porters or mules, trekkers need to carry a day pack with warm tops, water, and snacks. Your body tries to adjust to the weight and discomfort of carrying one over a large distance. Prepare your body by climbing up and down stairs with an 8-10 kilo backpack. Keep track by either noting the time or the number of times you walk up and down, and push the bar each week for at least 6-8 weeks.
• Adjusting to cold weather can be tough, especially if you live somewhere near the coast. Take cold showers at home, and when you do feel the cold try braving it till you really need to cover up.
• To prepare for the effects of high altitude on your body, start by reading up on its symptoms, prevention, and treatment. Being aware of these is half the battle won. The golden rule while feeling the effects of high altitude is to descend to a lower elevation. Medication only addresses the symptoms and does not cure the problem. In the days before you trek, drink plenty of water, and avoid alcohol and smoking.
• Research the area, the route, and local weather conditions. Check if there are cultural events or festivals that will make your trip more enjoyable.
