Although trekking is a physically and mentally exhilarating activity, experts suggest that it is necessary to assess the health condition before doing so. High altitudes, long distance walking, bumpy roads can increase stress on heart, lungs, muscles and joints.
People suffering from diabetes, high blood pressure, heart related problems, asthma or knee pain should go for the trek only after undergoing medical examination. Choosing a route that suits your physical ability, taking appropriate training, and carrying water and emergency medicine can all contribute to a safe journey.
