So without wasting time, let's dive deep into this topic.
>Before discussing the tips and trics on how to prepare for the Kedarnath tour, let's discuss what are the challenges you are going to face when you are on the tour.
a)As discussed earlier, on the Kedarnath tour we need to trek for around 16 km each day with a height gain of 6000 feet in one day. Due to this, there is a high chance of altitude sickness. In this region, you are prone to acute mountain sickness (AMS), which generally occurs above 2500 meters with symptoms like headache, tiredness, nausea, vomiting, and lack of appetite. Most of the time AMS occurs as height gain is too much without enough time to acclamatise. The best way to avoid AMS is to take proper rest before going on your trek. While on trek, take proper while walking and don't haste. Also, keep drinking water at regular intervals to keep yourself hydrated. If you consume alcohol or smoke, then avoid these, as it will stop your body from acclamating and reduce your stamina. If you are traveling to Kedarnath solo, then carry Dimox with you, which will help you acclimatize faster, and consult the doctors en route to Kedarnath temple whenever you feel unusual. The best suggestion is to book your Kedarnath tour package with a reputed organization that can provide you with a well-qualified guide with a well-curated itinerary to make your journey hassle-free.
b) Now as you are going to a high-altitude temple with a height greater than 3000 meters, there will be a high chance of you facing a huge problem in breathing. If you have Asthama or anything related to breathing problems or have had heart surgery in the past, then you need to be more cautious and carry an oxygen cylinder with you when you are trekking with an organization that proves medical kits with their guides.
c) As there are very unpredictable weather conditions, you need to carry a quality raincoat to cover your body properly with a bag and shoe cover. This will protect you from unpredictable rain and snowfall and will protect you from falling sick.
d) You are going to carry your luggage on your own. So try to pack your bag light. If you are confused in packing your bag, then you can refer to our page on Things to Pack for Kedarnath yatra while packing your bag. Also, you need to carry your luggage on your own. So, you should be physically fit to carry your luggage without any difficulty. So you need to prepare well in advance. To prepare yourself for the Kedarnath tour, you need to follow some exercise tips.
While on a trek, you need to cover at least 16 km each day. So you need to be habitual about that. So, start walking at least one month before your journey date. In your initial day, try to cover at least 5 km in one day, and then with the passing time, try to achieve that in less than 30 minutes.
While on a trek, your legs are going to work the most, so they should be stretched the most. For this, sqat is one of the best exercises. In the initial days, try to do 3 sets of exercise with 5 repetitions each and target to achieve three sets of 15 repetitions each. Also ensure taking proper rest after each set of exercises.
As you are going to carry your bag on your own. So your shoulder needs to be strong enough to carry it without troubling you. For this, pushups are the best exercise. It will strengthen your arms and shoulders. In the initial day, try to do 3 sets with at least 2 repetitions and target to achieve 3 sets with 7 repetitions each.
As we have worked for lower body parts and upper body parts, the center body part is equally important. For that plank is another important exercise for this. In your initial days, try to do it for 30 seconds and target to do it for 90 seconds.
As we are not habitual exercisers but we start all of a sudden exercising, then our body develops cramps. To avoid this, you need to stretch your body properly. It is also important to stretch your body before and after completing your exercise.
