Preparation logic
Start with walking consistency, add strength, practise breath control, plan food, and slow down when pain or balance needs attention.
Altitude, stairs, crowds, humidity, cold, and descent load change the preparation plan.
Gentle yatras may need 3-4 weeks. High-altitude treks can need 8-16 weeks and medical clearance.
Train legs, lungs, foot comfort, balance, recovery, and confidence together.
Use the app for daily practice, track progress, and choose gentler routines if pain limits walking.
