You likely burned more calories than you consumed. Eat protein-rich foods and fresh vegetables to replenish vitamins that were scarce on the trail. Rehydrate fully.
Missing the mountains is real. Going from the majesty of the Everest summit to an office desk is a shock. sorting photos and planning your next trek helps the transition.
The blisters heal, but the memories last forever. Give yourself time to adjust.
