Fitness
As you climb to higher altitudes, the air grows thinner and less oxygen is present. The amount of oxygen in our blood is equivalent to the proportion of haemoglobin that is saturated with oxygen. At altitudes above around 2,100 metres (7,000 feet), the amount of oxygen carried by our blood starts to decrease. At the same time, the human body possesses both immediate and long-term adaptations to altitude that help it somewhat compensate for the shortage of oxygen.
A Great First Trek for Anyone Who Wants to Get Into Hiking:
- The Bali Pass trek is an Easy to Moderate level trek in terms of fitness requirements. The track is well-marked and has only modest inclines and declines. Water fountains may be seen at various points throughout the path. However, it’s still best to be ready if you’re planning your first major Himalayan trekking adventure. Here is a plan for getting in shape for the trip.
- Our hikes are typically designed such that you cover around 9 kilometres in six hours, however this might vary somewhat depending on the terrain. It’s about the same as walking 6 kilometres an hour over the plains, therefore the speed is around 1.5 kilometres per hour.
- Following this plan, you may train yourself to run 3 kilometres in 30 minutes. Always begin your workout routine with some light stretching and warm-up moves.
- Follow this training schedule for trekking fitness required:
- Week 1: Walk for 10 minutes at a fast pace, jog for 10, and finish with a slow stroll for 10 minutes.
- Week 2: 15 minutes of jogging, followed by a 5-minute brisk walk. A leisurely stroll that takes no more than 5 minutes

- When you are out on a hike, bear in mind that you may not always be with your guide and that you may not always be on the correct trail.
- The majority of individuals glance both where they are going and where they are going while they are walking; this might produce twitching in your legs, which can make the whole journey difficult.
- It is imperative that you see your physician if you are experiencing any kind of health issue.
- It is imperative that I have my medical equipment with me at all times; it is of the utmost significance.
- Indiantreks will ensure that you have a fully stocked first aid kit at all times, including oxygen cylinders and other medications that may be required throughout the trek.
- In the event that any of the trekkers have any more difficulties, the stretcher is used to transport them back to the base camp.
- During the Bali Pass trek walk, our camp is situated close to the tree line, so you won’t have any trouble getting enough oxygen there.
