Mouse's comments are good ones.
In a real sense there is no way to really prepare for those ups & downs in the Himalaya. Just take it easy at the start. Go at your own pace and take enough TIME so that you don't have to run out to catch a plane.
Also, be prepared for HEAT, as well as cold. Last October I did the Besisahar-Khangsar trek and heat exhaustion was more of a problem than extreme cold.
