- You will be carrying your accommodations on your back (estimated pack weight around 35 pounds) while trekking all day over mountainous terrain. Intense adventures are mountain climbing trips, and there are usually no special activities other than rewarding your exhausted body at the end of the day with tons of food and some well deserved drinks. If you are accustomed to backpacking trips, then you should have no problem. We do recommend that you go on a regular exercise program a month before your trip.
