Train Hard

Take Proper Rest
It is recommended for trekkers to take proper rest before trekking to high altitude. Spending two to three days doing little exercise an drinking plenty of water (4 to 5 liters) will be beneficial. This removes the problem of dehydrations while trekking in higher altitude.
Keep Eating
Some people may lose appetite while trekking at high altitude but it is recommended to keep eating minor snacks. Snacks which are rich in calories are recommended.
Be Prepared for Tough Days and Rough Nights
Nights at the high altitude may be tough for some people. People may wake during their sleep frequently feeling out of air since the breathing rate slows while sleeping at higher altitude.
