Physical fitness
for trekking/walking activity in Nepal

Trekking/walking activity in Nepal is one of the Worldly favourite activities. Most travellers to Nepal come with their ambition of Trekking/Walking through some of the panoramic circuits such as Everest base camp, Annapurna Circuit, Annapurna base camp, Manaslu Circuit, Makalu Base camp, Dolpo and Kanchenjunga, etc. Most travellers are concerned about the altitude while communicating with us about their Nepal trip plans. They think trekking/walking in the Himalayas is challenging, technical, and requires special training and physical condition. But in contrast, Nepal has many permanent villages above 4000 metres above sea level, which means they also farm at this altitude, cattle, and is full of vegetation for natural fuel and resources required for permanent living, like anywhere in the world. Such geographical conditions allow people to walk normally as they do in their hometowns. The vegetation at this elevation means there is enough oxygen; therefore, walking at this elevation is not a problem if you allow a pace to your hourly or daily walk, especially while gaining altitude. Altitude is never a problem if one maintains a daily walking distance, rests on days when one feels tired, and takes extra free days if one finds a lovely place and wants to stay a day there, making one’s mind and body happier. And if you prepare your mind to accept any meals available and standard comforts in those remote places, you don’t need to worry about trekking in any part of Nepal, Tibet or Bhutan. We suggest not travelling to the above countries if you are under medication and weak. Or if you are suffering from the common cold, frequent pneumonia, tight time schedules, preferring to travel alone and without the help of a local outfitter, and in any other condition which will not comfort you even when you are on holiday. Otherwise, all age groups without the above problems can enjoy trekking/walking at any elevation in Nepal, Tibet and Bhutan.

Physical fitness is nothing more than well-being and, in general, a state of health that enables one to undertake overall sports or daily activities. The essential part of Physical fitness is proper nutrition and daily exercise (moderate-intense) to accumulate certain physical and mental resistive abilities. We suggest not thrusting ourselves to gain any abilities you may want to trek/walk in Nepal. All our itineraries are carefully designed to suit the general age group: short walks to gain acclimatisation, rest days, and a long-distance walk while going down.
