How can I physically prepare for high altitude hiking?

distro_dave

I intend to go to Tibet in August. I play badminton,tabletennis or volleyball every week and my fitness is decent. But I have not been exposed to high altitudes like in Tibet (16000 ft; 4900 m). How can I keep myself ready for a trek in Tibet in the coming 4 months?

Good thread on this — worth a read before you pay anyone to build it.
