You will ascend and descend throughout the way, so decent fitness is required. Previous trekking experience is unnecessary, but uphill and downhill walking requires fit trekkers.

The highest point on this trek is 3,210 meters, which is not much. However, you have to be careful and follow preventive measures. Keep yourself hydrated, listen to your body, and ascend slowly. If you follow this advice, you will be able to complete the trek without suffering from altitude sickness.
