Once you are on the trek, take your time
Your body needs time to adjust to the altitude. If you go too fast you could develop altitude sickness which will end up spoiling the fun of your trek. If you go at a pace that you can continue conversation comfortably you are OK. The Himalayas are one of the most beautiful places in the world – fill your lungs with crisp, fresh mountain air and look around to enjoy the scenery.
