Its a crazy way of doing it but I can say that you don't have to be super fit to do it, however i would recommend that you get quite a few sessions in on the stepper before you go as the first 2-3 days were killers. The body does get fit very fast but I would suggest keeping away from any water other than bottled and be very careful of what you eat for the week before. If you want some information on tour companies my guide has just started a website www.himalayandream.com which is worth looking at, he is very good and his english is excellent. If you have any more questions don't hesitate to contact me. Simon PS- tell the girlfriend that it will be the best expirience of her life and she will love it... PPS- if you time after it is well worth going white water rafting. kiefer Rainer Kiefer Post Count: 2 Msg: #3 90 days ago, April 7th 2008 | awesome , thanks heaps mate | qiqi chenqi Post Count: 2 Msg: #4 89 days ago, April 8th 2008 | Hi,I am a chinese girl.And I have gone to the everest base camp before ,but surely you don't worry a lot about it, if you do some prepares.And if you choose a excellent travel agency,it will be fine. | Just take your girlfriend with you ,and have fun attached a website [Mel removing URL.
