How fit do I need to be to do this trek? - Day

When planning a trek in Nepal, the fitness level needed depends on the specific trek you choose. Here are some general guidelines

1. Moderate Treks (e.g., Ghorepani Poon Hill) Basic fitness is usually enough. Regular walking and some cardio exercises will help.

2. Challenging Treks (e.g., Annapurna Circuit) A good level of fitness is important. You should be comfortable with long days of hiking, ideally 5-8 hours a day. Training for several weeks before the hike, including hiking with a backpack, can be beneficial.

3. Strenuous Treks (e.g., Everest Base Camp) Strong fitness is required. Endurance training, strength training, and acclimatization are essential. Consider doing longer hikes and elevation training if possible.

Tips for Preparing
