Trip Pre-requisites:

Walking in Himalayas means one must be free from any kind of illnesses. If you at any point before embarking on a trek either mentally or physically, feel uneasy or an onset of any minor illness it is better to delay the trip as medical facilities may not be available in the remote interior areas. Elementary medicines may be available in far off places but one should be self sufficient as far the medicines are concerned.

A certain degree of physical fitness in which muscles are conditioned to take the rigors of ascent and descent in long marches. A trek is enjoyed more if you are not particularly tired on reaching the camp after a day's trek. Doing some cardio-vascular exercises and aerobic activities will help you prepare for the trip.
