Decent physical fitness and prior trekking experience can be an asset while no technical skills are necessary.

 

While it is possible to do Tamang Heritage Trek independantly, the need of guide is misunderstood often.

Liquid needs and usage of our body is about 3-5 liters a day (13-21 cups).

This being said apart from water, you can drink green tea, masala tea, ginger tea and garlic soup.
