Annapurna Base Camp Trek in Nepal is considered a moderate trek that doesn’t demand extreme physical fitness. While it doesn’t require high levels of physical fitness, a certain level of endurance is necessary to complete the trek. Compared to other trekking destinations, the risk of altitude sickness is relatively low, and you’ll typically walk for 6-7 hours a day.
We suggest preparing your body for high altitudes with intense training and exercise, ideally starting three months before your trek. Building muscle strength will help you endure long hours of walking, and consistent training will also help you mentally prepare. Consider incorporating short uphill runs into your training routine and focus on improving your breathing.
