Previous trekking experience is not required for many popular trekking routes in Nepal. Your suitability depends on the trek duration, altitude, daily walking hours, terrain and overall difficulty. We recommend choosing a trek that matches your fitness level and experience.
Altitude sickness can occur when ascending too quickly. Proper acclimatization, gradual ascent, adequate hydration, sufficient rest and avoiding excessive exertion can reduce the risk. If you develop serious or worsening symptoms, inform your guide immediately and follow professional medical advice, including descending when necessary.
You should have a reasonable level of fitness and be comfortable walking for several hours on uneven and sometimes steep terrain. Regular walking, hiking, stair climbing and cardiovascular exercise before the trek can help you prepare. Fitness requirements vary according to the specific trekking route.

The suitability of winter trekking depends on the route, altitude, weather and current trail conditions.
