@@kurjan1 I did go to the gym 2 or 3 months in advance of going. I did the trek in May and my home has severe winters so I could do no walking or hiking before. After doing the trek I wished I had just focused on cardio. Walking up many flights of steps or using a stair climber.
@Sproogle7775 ай бұрын
This is encouraging. I am 59 now but looking at doing the trek at age 61 or 62. I'm pretty confident as I've done plenty of hiking uphill, including rough tracks on (small) mountains, play tennis and cycle for several hours, and average a bit over 20,000 steps a day. I assume most others in your group would have been young people. Was this awkward at all?

@@Sproogle777 actually there was 1 close to 50 and 3 others in their 60s. Rest were 40 and under and a couple around 20. 2 got sick with cold, 1 suffered it out and the other took a helicopter back to lukla. I did get sick with diarrhea and throwing up the first night had to stay back because I was still sick the next morning. I continued the trek the following day. I did catch up to my group when they did an acclimation day but after being so sick the guide made me stay back a second day so I took a different route and caught up again and skipped the second acclimation day in order to finish trek with group. Met several people who had to turn back due to altitude sickness. My guide was very surprised I was able to complete the trek due to the fact I had no trekking experience.

4:50 : acclimatisation causes one to loose more water than usual through increased urination and that must be replaced. It is only 1 to 1.5 liters per day extra.

Everything you said was true, just in a much more condensed version. It was amazing to see how you could walk for 3 hours and then a village would pop out of nowhere, full of life and people.

Hi Steff. Great video, thank you! I'm booked to go in October and this video has really helped me manage expectations etc. Really random question, do people just "wild wee" while trekking? Assuming there aren't toilets in between tea houses? More mindful as it's tricker for women 🤣 and did you take 4 litres with you in your bag for the whole day( filled up from tea house) Or top up during the day? Thanks! Charlee

Hi Charlee, so there are many toilets in the teahouses (take toilet paper though) but yes going wild is very common everyone does it, and I took 2 litres with me I would top them up each time we stopped for food and each morning (our guide would tell us where to get the water) with purification tablets dropped in, hope this helps hope you havw a great time😀

Hi Steff. My daiy is obsessed with Everest, so shes decided to gobto base camp asap. Am i right in thinking that base camp will not give you a view of Everest If not then wheres the best/easiest place to view Everest without having to climb a mountain because ahe is definitely not a climber? Cheers for the video. Stay safe

Amazing you’ll have a brilliant time, the trail can be very rocky especially towards the end, if you need more support maybe boots will be a safer option, you don’t want an injury on the way up and have to turn back, hope this helps😀
