You must also bring along an outdoor dress like a waterproof jacket and pants to keep you dry in the rain

- Hydration: Bring a reusable water bottle and consider a hydration bladder; it is very essential to stay hydrated, especially when trekkers reach the higher elevations
Physical Fitness Preparation
- Training: You should start training weeks before your trip. In your workout program, you will have to include more cardio activities for proper preparation. Some of the exercises will involve running, cycling, and swimming, with added strength training in the legs and core, and exercises in flexibility for this day.
- Practice Hikes: If possible, practice hiking with a full pack. Your body has to get used to the demands of high-distance trekking with weights bared.
