The Comedown: 5 Tips for Post-Everest Life

How to Handle Life After the Himalayas

Back to Earth

Coming home after a Mount Everest expedition is harder than the climb itself. The 'Himalayan Comedown' is a real psychological shift after the intensity of Everest trekking toward the summit.

Stay Active

Your body is used to 7 hours of movement. Stopping cold can lead to mood crashes. Keep walking! Use your Everest trekking fitness to explore your local trails while you process your expedition.

Talking about the Mount Everest summit views and the challenges of Base Camp helps integrate the experience. Don't bottle up the emotions of your Mount Everest expedition.

Give Yourself Grace

You will be tired for weeks. The high altitude of the Everest trekking region takes a long-term toll on the body. Rest, eat well, and allow yourself to miss the mountains.

The Mountain Stays with You

You don't just leave Everest; you bring it home. Use the resilience you found near the Mount Everest summit to tackle the challenges of everyday life.
