Normally, for the high-altitude treks in Nepal, the minimum recommended period of training is 3 to 6 weeks. However, considering your fitness level, you can adjust the period as per your preference. Although a basic level of fitness is considered to be sufficient for this trek, it is an inevitable fact that the more fit you are, the more comfortable your journey will be.

As the Upper Mustang Trek distance is quite long and you will also have to traverse across high-altitude portions along the trail, you will need to have a good strength and endurance level. The high altitude rugged and steep trail will test these aspects the most during your trip.

Similarly, working on the core strength will help you keep your balance on the uneven road. Furthermore, cardiovascular/stamina training will improve your body's capability to keep up with long hours of walking and also help you with the acclimatization process.
