i would really like to do the everest base camp trek, the only thing stopping me from booking it is that im not sure if im fit enough.
im an active person and im pretty fit but have no experience of this kind of trekking. am i being a bit ambitious?
i would really like to hear from some people who have done the trek or are planning to do it with some advice.
thanks

Hello Hooper,
In the meantime I would suggest that you have a good read of the trip dossier available from the [url=http://www.imaginative-traveller.com/downloads/]Download[/url] section of the website as this will shed some light on the level of fitness required.
Re: everest base camp trek,how difficult?
I did the Everest Base Camp Trek earlier this year. I'm in average shape and found it to be difficult at times, but still manageable. I had more trouble dealing with altitude sickness then with the trek itself. Each individual day is too not bad, but string them together and they could start to wear you down.
