Start walking now (it's never too soon to begin training) 

This may appear the most obvious step, to begin with, yet you'd be amazed at how many people don't do it. What is the most ideal approach to getting ready for a truly long walk? The obvious answer is to do some truly long walks before you start the trek. You should begin with a short distance and work up to the distance you'll trek on your trip. At the point when you start your preparation, leave a day in the middle of each walk to allow your body to rest. Be that as it may, as your body gets fitter, try to do back-to-back sessions every day – it'll help assemble your stamina for the tireless nature of a ten-day trek, where you won't have the benefit of rest days for your body. Ideally, you need to have the option to walk 4-6 hours – comfortably – before you leave.

Do some combination of exercise

Including trail running guarantees you will be certain on your feet in some difficult territory. You will likewise need to include box steps on boxes of varying heights while holding loads. Despite the fact that you have to build endurance to trek somewhere in the range of 4 and 9 hours every day, it is additionally advantageous to include spirit intervals, either running or on a bicycle. This improves your recovery time. Try short bursts of pushing a heavy sled to build your CV system to guarantee you don't feel like throwing up on the path! What's more, remember your arms! You should utilize trekking poles, and these may give you to a greater extent a lower arm exercise than you anticipate. Try some triceps exercises, as well as pull-ups, dips, and rows for your shoulders and back. You will, after all, be carrying a bag pack on your trek.

Remaining healthy during the trek

Water is the most significant part of your trek. Drink around 5 liters every day. Stretch your muscles, hips, and back whenever you stop. This will limit body aches and prevent some injuries. Bring pain relief like Biofreeze, ice hot, or Tiger Balm for rubbing on sore muscles around evening time (Tiger Balm is easily available in Kathmandu and Pokhara). You can find these especially helpful on and behind your knees after the steep downhill. Regardless of what your diet is at home, eat on the trail. All teahouses serve pasta, rice, and pizza. Take advantage of all those rest spots. Try minimum your alcohol consumption, particularly when you arrive at higher altitudes.

Invest in a decent pair of shoes 

Your feet are your most vital body part on a trek, and it doesn't take a lot to keep them in good tip-top shape. To begin with, invest in a couple of good-quality, water-resistant hiking boots; you need a lot of help and breathing as well. At that point, wear them in. How would you do this? Wear them everywhere. On your training runs, on walks to the shops, to work and to another outing, just to make it a habit so it won`t bother you during your trek.

At that point, pack up on a couple of good hiking socks (ideally a wool/nylon mix), that will wick moisture and keep your feet dry. In the event that you need to get somewhat insane, wear two sets while walking to decrease the chance of blisters.

Train to walk on the paths like your trek trail

At the point when you're on your trek, it's unlikely you'll be walking on the path like streets and footpaths, so avoid training exclusively on the level of trails and streets. Rather, try to train on surfaces that will be like the trails on the trek. In case you're going to Everest, aim to train on steep, rough landscapes and loose shale; if it's other mountains, try to discover sloppy paths. It's extremely significant you set up your feet, knees, and ankles for the pressure they'll experience on the trek.

It's significant to place the Himalayan trek in perspective. It is a long route (over 120km full circle), but you can go gradually as far as possible. You can lead the trek for more than 11 days: 8 days up, 3 days down. You'll go through 2 days on the way up resting and adapting to the height, and most days have around 5-8 hours of trekking at a really reserved pace. You can increase about 300m (1000 feet) of elevation on average each day. You want to enjoy the amazing views, and you have a lot of time. Gradual is the most ideal way to securely enjoy the trek and limit symptoms of elevation sickness. It is essential to understand that physical fitness doesn't promise you won't be affected by High Altitude Sickness. It will help you with bearing the difficulties of the trek and enjoy your experience much more; however how your body adjusts and reacts to outrageous elevation is only affected by your physical fitness.
