This article will share essential tips, from physical training to choosing clothes and checking the weather, to help you confidently embark on a journey to explore Vietnam’s beautiful nature.
Stay healthy
Health is the most important factor to ensure you have a safe and enjoyable trekking trip. Before starting your journey, have a general health check-up and consult a doctor if necessary. Make sure you have a balanced, nutritious diet and drink enough water every day. Getting enough sleep and avoiding stress are also important to keep your body in the best condition. During the trip, listen to your body, rest when needed and do not overexert yourself.
Learn more about the trekking route
Knowing the information about the trekking route is an important factor to help you have a smooth trip. You need to learn about the difficulty of the route, the distance, the expected time and the stops. Maps, terrain and climate information should also be carefully considered. Consulting with people who have experience trekking the route you choose is also a useful way to prepare better.
Choose specialized trekking clothing
Appropriate clothing is an indispensable factor when trekking. You should choose clothes that are cool, sweat-absorbent and quick-drying. Trekking shoes need to have good grip to protect your feet from injury. Accessories such as hats, gloves and waterproof socks are also essential. A specialized trekking outfit will help you feel more comfortable and safe throughout the journey.
Physical training
Physical training before the trip helps you better prepare for the challenges on the road. Exercises such as running, cycling, rock climbing or gym training all help improve endurance and muscle. In particular, you should do exercises to strengthen the legs and back muscles, because these are the muscle groups that work the most when trekking. A healthy and flexible body will help you overcome all difficulties on the road.
Check the weather at your trekking location
Before starting your trip, you need to check the weather forecast of your trekking location. The weather greatly affects your safety and experience. Avoid rainy or stormy days or extremely hot weather. If the weather is not favorable, you should prepare precautions such as bringing raincoats, sun hats and other protective equipment. Check the weather regularly to be best prepared.
Trekking is an interesting and rewarding activity, but it is also challenging and requires careful preparation. Physical preparation, thorough knowledge of the route, choosing the right clothes, physical training, checking the weather and fully preparing your luggage will help you have a safe and complete trip.
