How fit do you have to be to walk the Kokoda Trail?
We recommend that, especially for trekking, everyone planning on going does some exercises as per the Training page. This is a very physical activity in hot conditions. You need to have reasonable fitness and be prepared to walk for up to ten days in challenging conditions. Remember that you normally walk as part of a group and the Trek master may retire a trekker whose lack of fitness significantly hampers the progress of the party. We recommend a three month preparation schedule of walking, hiking and exercise. Download Month One, Month Two and Month Three training recommendations in Adobe Acrobat PDF.
