Regular travelers, explorers, climbers and even the first time visitors get enthused and excited alike when it comes to trekking on Mt. Everest. Walking to the jingle of yak bells, amidst the Himalayan giants, you will find yourself uncovering new vistas of your psyche. You are likely to get showered with anecdotes of ancient Tibetan Buddhism as you proceed on the trek. For a fit aspirant, it is a reasonable trek. However, there are certain important considerations that must be kept in mind prior to scheduling the expedition. The tips for trekking on Mt. Everest are listed below:

• Seek your doctorâEUR(TM)s advice on taking medication like Acetazolamide (Diamox) required to acclimatize yourself with the altitude. Talk to him about the benefits, risks and side effects before making your final decision.


• To stay fit during the hike, drink lots of water (3 to 4 liters a day) and eat energizing meals and snacks at intervals.


• Obtain travel insurance and make sure you have sufficient insurance cover for the activity and repatriation.


• Never ascend if you feel any symptoms of Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS), which occurs at an altitude over 2000 meters, causing shortness of breath, fatigue, headache, sleep disturbance or loss of appetite. Resume only when you start feeling better.


• Do not trek alone. If you do not have friends to accompany you, hire a guide or a porter to trek with you.


• Spring and autumn, having clear sky and warm weather, are the best seasons for Everest Trekking.


• Make sure that you have enough warm clothes during the trek and are able to stay warm in just about any weather.

Besides having these considerations in mind, it is very important to find out beforehand if the trekking company you are booking your holiday with is genuine and registered with the government. Only after ensuring the same, it is sensible to start planning for the trek.
