Everest Base Camp
The Everest Base Camp (EBC) Trek is a thrilling but tough journey that takes you to over 5,000 meters (16,500 feet) above sea level. It involves trekking for 5-7 hours daily on steep, uneven paths. While you don’t need to be a professional athlete, having good stamina, strong legs, and the ability to handle long hikes is key. You can prepare by regular exercises like walking, hiking, and cardio workouts. These activities help build your endurance and make the trek more enjoyable. Additionally, being mentally prepared is just as important as physical fitness because high altitude and low oxygen can make even simple tasks feel exhausting.
