You need not be a super athlete nor a mountaineer for your trekking trip in Nepal. All you need is a few weeks of training, prior to arriving in Nepal and that will enhance your experience. It won’t be joyful spending the trip of a lifetime struggling to walk the trails every day, when a little sensible preparation before would make the trails so much more rewarding.
Therefore it is important to be in a good physical condition before you start your trek and the best way is to do a lot of walking. Try spending an hour a day on the road walking. Walk upstairs rather than take a lift, if possible, walk or cycle when you would normally drive or ride a bus. Jogging and aerobics will also help. It doesn’t have to be too complicated. While in training you can also try in new trekking boots that may otherwise give you blisters on the first day out on the trail.
Above all, mental preparation is a must for trekking in Nepal. Please, find out as much information as possible about Nepal before leaving your country for trekking; and more particularly, about the trek you have planned. We are always happy to give you information with updated facts.
