You will be walking 6 to 7 hours a day at a minimum, therefore you have to be in good health and fitness. you can check Travel Advise and About Us.

The trail winds through dense forests and the region gets remote with an increase in elevation. You have to walk in thin air before touching EBC, which can get challenging for some trekkers.
