Of course trekking in mountainous region is not an easy task. It requires proper training, trekking experience and requires your own mental preparation. The sudden change in weather condition and altitude sickness can create problem on your journey, so we request you to be fully prepared for these possible difficulty during your trekking. At least 1 or 2 months of physical training-running, cycling, gym, walking ups and downs is suggested before starting your trek.

3. Never Trek Alone
Trekking guide is to be chosen wisely, preferably the local experts. Local experts will know all the geographical, physical and social conditions of the area and hence it will be very easy for you to accomplish your journey. So take enough information about your guide from the trekking agency.
Proper trekking leader, trekking guide and porter are most important as they the people whom you are going to contact whenever you need help. All the problems that arise on your journey will be solved by your trekking crew. If you get sick or face any problem, it has to be consulted with your crew and they will really assist you.
4. Walking Pace
Pace of your walk determines the success of your trekking. We suggest you not to walk in hurry, make your own pace, take enough rest at regular intervals of time and most importantly you have to let the yaks and horses go ahead if approached on the way. Moreover, drinking enough water (4-5 liters) is the most. It keeps you away from the possible dehydration problem and helps you remain fresh.
5. Proper Gear
All the required accessories, gloves, jackets, bags, sticks, etc are to be with you before setting your journey. You can buy all the accessories here at Kathmandu or you can buy them at your own place as well.
