Trekkers should be prepared for long days of walking on varied terrain, including uphill climbs and rocky trails. Prior trekking experience and regular exercise can help prepare trekkers for the demands of the trek. Additionally, consulting with a healthcare professional before the trek is recommended, especially for travelers with pre-existing medical conditions.

Vegetarian options are readily available, and special dietary requirements can usually be accommodated with prior notice.
