You must know EBC trekking involves the long walk of (5-7 hours) per day. A strenuous walk with short coming twist and turn and numerous uphill ascent and downhill descent has no substitution. This needs physical strength and stamina. Physical weakness, dizziness and fatigue will soon catch you if you are not strong enough to adopt. Tips: Train as much as you can. A leg- cardio is highly recommended form of exercise. Try with a little more weight, put on the boots and climb uphill.

There is high probability of getting altitude sickness during the trekking. Tips: Vomiting, Nausea, loss of appetite and trouble sleeping are the basic symptoms and in the case of ignorance people soon lose their visibility power, sense of touching and respective to that. Make a good hydration, sleep, eat and descent downhill as soon as possible to get the heat.
