Taking care of yourself

In order to have the best trek possible, you will need to take care of your body and listen to its signals. If you are uncomfortably warm, feel blisters coming on anywhere or are thirsty, you should rectify the problem immediately – even if this might mean that your trekking companions will have to wait. Otherwise, you risk having problems later on during the trek. Taking care of your personal hygiene and keeping your feet in good condition are also two ways to avoid unnecessary difficulties.
