Based on the level of comfort with the outdoors you should prepare mentally yourself for, life in the mountains. If you are very comfortable with the mountain life, including camping, bugs, dirt, baby wipe showers, and going to the toilet outdoors you can easily adjust in this environment. However, for some who are more comfortable with the four seasons than a campsite, you may need to prepare yourself to stay in small tea houses, run by the local Sherpa people in Everest Base Camp. You will have a bed to sleep in a twin-shared room. There are options for showers lower down on the trail.

For many people eating at high altitude can be very difficult. Even if you apply all the physical energy, for some reason, when you are at altitude, food is not always good. Forcing yourself to eat in the mountains can be a discouraging task.

It is very important to eat it anyway to get these much needed calories.
Stay Away From The Sun As Much As Possible
The higher the altitude, the lower the level of UV protection. In some days on the road, the sun can be cruel, receiving solar radiation from powerful light. Avoiding sun exposure not only helps reduce those wrinkles and prevents skin issues; it also increases your chances of successful trekking. When it is burnt by the sun, it dehydrates and returns to the tip of its own water. Dehydration can cause problems in the mountains and, ultimately, limit your chances of success.
