Trekkers must be in good physical condition to complete it because it is a moderate to difficult grade trek with some steep accents on the marked trail. The trekkers have to walk for 3-9 hours a day. Trekking at such high altitudes can lead to altitude sickness, so giving yourself enough time to adapt is essential.

During the trek, there is no shortage of water for personal hygiene. We recommend bringing a purification tablet or a LifeStraw for drinking water. Volunteer doctors staff the Himalayan Rescue Association station at the base camp during the peak climbing season of April and May. Altitude sickness may occur due to the altitude of the trek. Therefore, it is advisable to keep alcohol consumption to a minimum and allow sufficient time for acclimatization. There are squat toilets throughout the trek that can be flushed with water and a ladle.
