Physical Training

Start training 2-3 months before. Focus on cardio, leg strength, and hiking with a weighted backpack.

Altitude Acclimatization

Choose longer routes for better acclimatization. Ascend slowly, stay hydrated, and listen to your body.

Break In Your Boots

Wear your hiking boots for several weeks before the trek to avoid blisters and ensure comfort.
