Safety/Security/Fitness

Trekking to any place can be physically and mentally demanding. You need to prepare yourself for the journey since the trek to the Saipal base camp is all about walking 6-7 hours per day.

It is obvious that you need to be in a good health and a proper physical state in order to make this journey. You can always practice some running, jogging, and light exercise to keep you prepared. However past experiences of trekking or climbing are not really required.  It is also likely to suffer from altitude sickness when you are trekking to high and risky places like the Saipal base camp.

Throughout the journey, you need to be hydrated and have nutritional foods. It is better to have an oximetry with you so that you can check your oxygen level from time to time. If you ever feel like having difficulties in breathing then you can immediately contact your guide or friends.

Other Requirements

Travel Insurance

Travel insurance has become part of trekking requirements. If you ever have some medical emergencies your travel insurance will have to bear it and that is why you need to mention the details about the places you are going and the altitudes you will be reaching. Insurance depends on the details you mentioned earlier.
