There are people who live in the Mountaineering regions, and others live in the area with very low altitude, near the sea, in the coastal areas. Also, some people work in the office in their daily routine. That is why any high altitude mountain climbing plan needs preparations like below.
1. **Physical Conditioning**: – **Cardiovascular Training**: Build endurance with activities like running, cycling, or swimming. – **Strength Training**: Focus on leg and core strength to handle the physical demands of climbing.Find a nearest hill, and do outdoor hiking , even up to 2700 m to 3500 m above sea level to help train lungs for high altitude breathing capacity.
2. **Acclimatization**: – **Gradual Ascent**: Climb gradually to allow your body to adapt to lower oxygen levels. Follow the “climb high, sleep low” principle to help your body adjust. – **Rest Days**: Include rest days in your schedule to reduce the risk of altitude sickness.
