Mandy Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 Hello Trekkers, I am 63 years old Retd Army Officer from the Infantry (Gorkha Regt). I have served many tenures in extreme High Altitudes, but post 2000, I have had mainly a desk job. I am mildly Hypertensive, which is adequately under full control by medication (BP is now 120/80)... A small issue of age related Lumbar Spondylosis is there which comes and goes. Actively still play Tennis, Badminton and Golf as well as walking. I am keen to go on the Dayara Bugyal Trek in December... The Trek is for basic beginners as far as my knowledge goes... Shall I take the chance?? I may have to discard my Haversack to the Mules... But that is OK by me. I have my 27 Yr old son and wife also accompanying me. Your advice is solicited please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ila Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 Your fitness level seems better than mine, at 58 years. I did my first trek in august. If your son and wife are accompanying it sounds like a fun thing to do this trek! ila Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
