Most trekkers, including young children and the elderly, take five days. When rivers are flooded in the summer, it can be more difficult to cross them. Each day, there will be five to six hours of walking. To increase strength and stability, it is advised that anyone embarking on this walk engage in regular exercise, such as running, for a few weeks beforehand.
