How Hard Is the Mount Everest Base Camp Trek?
I Hiked to Mount Everest Base Camp and Back — Here's How Hard It REALLY Is

We encountered so many different people on our journey up the mountain. We met incredibly fit people, people who had never worked out a day in their life, and people who worked out here and there and were just kinda winging it. While we did see some people turn around due to altitude sickness, you can absolutely do it if you take proper care of yourself. Even if you don't work out very often or ever, you can still do it, but you have to really want it. Everyone in our group made it, but the one thing we all said when it was over? "That was so much harder than I thought it would be."
