Most trekkers don’t fail because they’re unfit. They fail because they ate wrong.
⏰ 1–2 Hours Before the Trek
• Eat complex carbs + light protein
→ Oats, brown bread + peanut butter, boiled eggs
• Skip the heavy parathas — you’ll regret it by km 3
🎒 On The Trail (Every 90 mins — set an alarm)
• Trail mix (nuts + dark chocolate + raisins)
• Peanut butter sachets
• Jaggery (gur) for instant energy
• Banana or apple
• Energy bars as backup
💧 Don’t wait to feel thirsty.
By then you’re already 2% dehydrated = 20% slower on trail
🚫 What’s Actually Destroying Your Trek
• Chips & instant noodles = zero real energy
• Sugary drinks = spike then crash hard
• Alcohol night before = dangerous at altitude
• Heavy dairy = bloating on steep climbs
• Overeating at camp = worst sleep of your life
💡 The Rule That Changes Everything
• Eat before you’re hungry
• Drink before you’re thirsty
• Your appetite dies at altitude — but your body still needs fuel
♻️ Leave No Trace
• Every wrapper you drop stays there for 400+ years
• Carry a trash ziplock. Bring everything back down.
• That’s the real trekker flex.
🥾 Save this before your next trek. Share with your trek group.
