Though moderate in many aspects we have graded this trek to be a strenuous one which gains the maximum altitude of 5030 (Tilicho East Lake Camp) and is suitable for any passionate hikers with the ability to walk at least 6-8 hours a day with a light back pack.  High altitude hikes are always physically demanding and you should be sure of your ability of undertaking this trip. Having said that however, you should not be put off by this high sounding fitness percussion as many of our past clients attempting this walk were of moderately fit and some of whom did not even have any high altitude hiking experience.

As long as you posses good health (in terms of physical fitness) and are determined to undertake the trip, you can definitely make it. Apart from that, your level of fitness increases considerably after each day’s hike and you feel much fitter every following day. Although there are no prerequisite for joining the this trip,  however, Jogging, swimming and regular walks, prior to beginning the trip are always helpful in keeping you in good shape and undertaking this adventure successfully. People with pre-existing medical condition and concerned with their ability for this level of undertaking should, however, consult their physician for any special precautions that might be helpful in preventing any forms of AMS (Acute Mountain Sickness) during the trek.
