Preparing for a Nepal Trek
Although excellent physical conditioning is not essential for trekking in Nepal, good fitness is a critical element for enjoying a trek. Especially when trekking on steep slopes above 3000 meters, you’ll want to be in as good shape as possible. This article from the ITrekNepal website will help you prepare both physically and mentally for a trek.
As noted in the article there is no better way to prepare for a trek than hiking on similar terrain to what you will be experiencing, so that you’re strengthening the exact muscles that will be required. A great way to get in shape is to book a week or two at a fitness retreat where you can get professional support to achieve your goals. There is no better fitness retreat that we know of, especially for trek preparation, than the Mountain Trek fitness spa in BC, Canada. Mountain Trek is a complete resort in a beautiful location, with a program that emphasizes hiking as a fitness method, along with a comprehensive wellness program.
