Fitness Required For The Chadar Trek
At high altitude as the air gets thinner oxygen becomes less
abundant.The percentage saturation of hemoglobin with oxygen
determines the content of oxygen in our blood. After the human body
reaches around 2,100 m (7,000 feet) above sea level, the level of oxygen
in our hemoglobin begins to plummet. However, the human body has
both short-term and long-term adaptations to altitude that allow it to
partially compensate for the lack of oxygen.
The Chadar Trek is a moderate trek.

5. Trekking Experience: Prior trekking experience in the Himalayas is
recommended but not necessary.
Fitness Required: The Chadar Trek falls in the category of moderate
treks. Water is available throughout the trail. But still if you are thinking
of your first big Himalayan trekking experience its better to be prepared.
Here is the training schedule to prepare for the trek.
Our treks are generally planned in a way that on an average you have to
cover around 9 Kms in 6 hours although there may be slight variation
depending on the terrain. This works out to roughly 1.5km per hour
which is equivalent to walking in the plains at 6km per hour.
You can train yourself to run 3 kms in 30 minutes as per the schedule
given below. Remember always start your training program with
stretching and warm up exercises.
Follow this training schedule for trekking fitness required.
Week 1: Start with 10 minute of brisk walk and then jog for 10 minutes
