travel and rhum

Hi there,

Myself and my GF have booked the ABC trek for mid December and i have a few questions for those that have done it.

​

TRAINING

– We both have average fitness, can complete 6-8h day treks in the UK, elevation gain c. 700m but we have had to have a few weeks off training due to illness, just as we were about to start training hard.

– Question – We have 6 weeks until we go, in your opinion is this enough time to get ready? How much training (if any) did those that have completed it do?

​

GUIDE

– We will make our own way to Pokhara, and just want a guide by the day to take us up. Does anyone have a recommendation for a guide they used? Many of the companies i find online offer the full service (meeting at Kathmandu), Recommendations welcome!

​

Any other advice, or tips are much appreciated!

​

Thank you in advance

I recently did my first 14er. Just before the summit was a pretty sketchy section that was iced over with a pretty big drop off. I got to the top and was barely able to enjoy the gorgeous scenery because I knew I had to do that sketchy section and was trying not to crap my pants. Am I the only person that experiences this kinda thing?
