Preparation For Everest Base Camp Trek



I make certain everyone knows you need to be reasonably fit to do the Everest Base Camp trek. I was told you don't require to be the ultimate athlete (I'm most absolutely not!); you just have to make certain you've had some type of physical prep work for a couple of months before your trip. After speaking with close friends who have actually done the trip, I was suggested some trekkers training for a whole year before the trek nonetheless, if you do normal workout and also are reasonably

healthy, you will do just fine. I really hope so as I definitely do not have a year to prepare. Form my preparation I have done a bit of jogging, running and interval training with a friend three times a week. I most definitely feel that this has boosted my degree of physical fitness. I'm typically an active person so I primarily needed to boost the intensity of my run/walk as well as extend it for a few extra kilometers as endurance training. Likewise about a month before the trek we chose to work with a
personal fitness instructor to aid us along and to push us just a little more. He primarily focused on straight training and cardio and I feel much more certain about reaching Everest Base Camp trek comfortably.

 Physical

Swimming and biking 30-60 minutes 3 to 4 times a week are likewise excellent alternative way to train yourself, as is practically anything that makes your cardio functioning.

As you can think of there is a great deal to consider and a lot to organize. Here are some 'need to know' regarding prep work for the Everest Base Camp Trek & some guidance I got from good friends.

 Gear

 Depending on the time of year you plan on doing the trek, you'll require suitable gear. First of all and most importantly I am required to mention trekking boots. They need to be fitted properly by someone who understands what they are doing. One of my friends acquired a set of ill-fitted boots (after being fitted by a 'specialist') for a trip in the Grand Canyon and regrettably, she wasn’t able to complete it as a result of blisters upon blisters and bruising. It spoiled her holiday. No amount of blister patrol is likely to help you if your boots are either too small or too big.

Clothes

Next have to be the jacket, long johns (thermal underwear) and pants. I'll be taking a trip in April so its springtime in Nepal and also the weather conditions ought to be dry yet cold. I decided to pack 2 sets of long johns, a set of compression tights (to raise circulation and blood flow to the muscles), a set of thick skin trousers (breathable and waterproof), and most importantly a top-quality down coat. Gear has been the most significant monetary expense besides the trip itself and flights however, I don't believe you need to compromise on quality when carrying out a trip of a lifetime.

 Psychological

 Having stated all that, you can have the best gear in the world however if you do not have the fitness and also psychological preparation behind you, your possibilities of completing the trip is very slim.

 As I said before, you do not have to be a professional athlete to do the trip, actually, you possibly do not have to prepare in any way if you are in good shape but let's face it; we can all be a little fitter. Physical training will probably save a great deal of discomfort and also suffering on the route and help you take pleasure in the experience a lot more. The typical concept of all training is pushing yourself and developing physical and mental strength.
