[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP Here - I am not the turbulence poster, but point me to that post please lol. I've been at 12,000ft, but wasn't able to take the time to acclimate before jumping from 12 to 14k. That was what caused me some issues. I plan to take a bit longer before hand in Kathmandu, especially for the time change. I'm 43, slightly overweight but healthy. I currently walk 2-3 miles every day. I would 100% train, probably 8-12 months before going. I would also, in an ideal world, hike a few mountains in the US like Mount Mitchell and the John Muir Trail first. I did scope out a breathing mask to help prepare your lungs as well. Kilimanjaro may be a good starting point... I may try some hikes in Colorado first to ensure this is something I want to pursue lol, before committing to the bigger boys.[/quote] Kathmandu is only about 4600 feet in elevation so don’t rely on that to acclimate.
