For many, this journey begins with Fit Khurana.
You may have been following Vanshika’s work around fitness, consistency, and showing up for yourself, and this is an opportunity to step into that philosophy in a very different setting: the Himalayas.
For others, Annapurna Base Camp has long been on the list. One of the most iconic trails in Nepal, known for its changing landscapes, steady climbs, and the dramatic amphitheatre of peaks at 4,130 metres. Seeing this trek come together with Fit Khurana may nudge you to take the step. This experience brings both worlds together.
Annapurna Base Camp with Fit Khurana is not designed as a standard guided trek. It’s built as a shared journey, where the experience is shaped as much by the people and their preparation as by the trail itself.
The intention is simple: To move through the mountains together, not just arrive at a destination.
Rather than treating this as eight days in the Himalayas and moving on, the journey is designed to foster connection with the terrain, the process, and the people you’re walking alongside.
Whether you’re new to Himalayan trekking or returning to the mountains, doing this as part of a community changes the experience.
Participants don’t arrive as strangers. There is time to prepare, to align expectations, and to build a shared rhythm before stepping onto the trail. This makes the days in the mountains feel calmer, more grounded, and more intentional.
On the trail, the focus is on steady movement, good pacing, and listening to the body. Reaching Annapurna Base Camp becomes a natural outcome of that process, not a race, and not a box to tick
The Journey Before the Trek
This experience doesn’t begin in Nepal.
The weeks leading up to the trek are designed to help you arrive feeling prepared, physically, mentally, and emotionally, rather than anxious or unsure. Instead of last-minute scrambling, the focus is on building steady habits that support movement, recovery, and consistency.
You don’t need to be an elite athlete. You don’t need prior Himalayan experience. What matters more is showing up regularly, learning how your body responds to effort, and developing the confidence that comes from preparation.
During this phase, participants train together as a closed group. There’s structure, guidance, and accountability, but no pressure to compete or keep up. The idea is to meet yourself where you are and progress sensibly, so the mountains feel familiar rather than overwhelming.
By the time you step onto the trail, you’re not guessing whether you’ll manage the climbs or the long days. You’ve already built the routines that make sustained movement feel normal.
Why This Matters in the Mountains
Himalayan trekking isn’t difficult because of any single day.
It’s challenging because of repetition, walking day after day, managing fatigue, sleeping at altitude, and recovering well enough to do it again.
Preparation changes how this feels.
It allows you to:
-Move at a steady, sustainable pace
-Recover better between days.
-Stay calm when things feel uncomfortable.
-Enjoy the experience instead of worrying about whether you’re “doing okay”
This is what turns Annapurna Base Camp from a test of willpower into a journey you can genuinely be present for.
Why Fit Khurana × Odyssey
Fit Khurana and Odyssey come from different worlds, but they share a common philosophy: progress comes from consistency, not shortcuts. This collaboration brings together the human side of movement and the practical realities of the mountains.
Vanshika brings her experience around building sustainable fitness habits, understanding recovery, and helping people show up for themselves day after day. For many participants, she’s a familiar presence, someone they trust, relate to, and feel comfortable learning from.
Odyssey brings deep on-ground experience in the Himalayas. From pacing and altitude management to safety systems and logistics in Nepal, the team focuses on doing things the right way, quietly, thoughtfully, and with respect for the terrain and local communities.
Together, this ensures that the journey is not just motivating but also well-planned and responsibly led.
This collaboration isn’t about pushing limits for its own sake.
It’s about:
-Preparing properly before the trek
-Moving steadily and sensibly in the mountains
-Prioritising recovery, rest, and awareness
-Creating a space where participants feel supported and not pressured
Fit Khurana sets the tone around consistency and self-belief. Odyssey ensures that every decision on the trail is grounded in experience and safety. The result is a journey that feels both inspiring and dependable.
Trip Highlights:
Walk the Annapurna Base Camp trail as part of a shared community journey.
Trek with Vanshika on one of Nepal’s most iconic mountain trails.
Be part of a closed community that trains and prepares together.
An opportunity to share the journey, conversations, and daily life on the trail with Vanshika and get to taste some of her favourite recipes.
Stay in traditional tea houses and experience mountain hospitality along the Annapurna trail.
Walk through changing landscapes, terraced villages, forests, valleys, and high alpine terrain.
Once you’re part of the group, you join a closed community that prepares together with a clear structure and shared accountability. The preparation is intentionally phased, so your body and mind adapt gradually, without rushing, burnout, or last-minute anxiety.
Vanshika will help the participants by guiding the team through a structured, phase-wise preparation program designed together with Odyssey, with the explicit aim of getting everyone ready for the physical and mental demands of the Annapurna Base Camp trail.
Odyssey supports this process by ensuring that what is being built during preparation translates meaningfully to the realities of Himalayan trekking, from pacing and recovery to altitude awareness and sustained movement.
These are the 4 phases you will be going through as a participant
Why (and how) you must register?
Over the course of the trek, you’ll walk, cook, eat, recover, and reflect together. You’ll share meals in local Nepali tea houses, learn why certain foods work better on the trail, and also try out some of Vanshika’s favourite simple, nourishing recipes right there in the mountains. Between long walks and quiet evenings, there will be conversations about fitness, life, balance, and what it truly means to feel strong and capable.
This journey is an invitation to slow down and spend meaningful time with Vanshika, not just as a fitness influencer, but as a person. To learn from her experiences, her approach to food and recovery, and the philosophy that guides her everyday life.
If this resonates with you, and you’d like to be part of a trek where learning, movement, food, and connection come together naturally, we’d love to have you along.
