First Time Trekking Guide: Everything You Need to Know Before Your First Himalayan Trek

Not very fit, but you need basic cardiovascular fitness. You should be able to walk 5-6 km at a steady pace. Start preparing 4-6 weeks before with regular walking, jogging, or cycling.

Wear quick-dry synthetic pants, a t-shirt, and comfortable trekking shoes with good grip. Avoid cotton as it doesn't insulate when wet. Carry layers (fleece, jacket) that you can add or remove as needed.
