How fit do I need to be to go trekking in Nepal?

How fit do I need to be to go trekking in Nepal?

The most challenging part of trekking in Nepal is the altitude, which is not something that we can really be prepared for. For a short trek like Annapurna Sunrise Trek, it does not require a previous hiking experience. However, if planning to do longer duration trekking above 3000 m / 9843 feet like Everest Base Camp trek or Annapurna Base Camp trek, it is required that you are in good physical and mental state of fitness. If you can walk about 10-12 km (6-8 mi) per day without any trouble, then probably you are fit enough. For novice climbers, a pre-training course is required before the start of the trip. For preparing yourself for the climb, we recommend regular exercise at least 2 months before your arrival in Nepal. You may begin jogging or cycling, stretching and toning exercises, walking up and down the stairs or even walking few hours in a day.
