No, the trek is a walk, not a climb, so you will not need any special equipment such as axes, ropes, etc.
A reasonable level of fitness is encouraged to embark on this trek. The walking itself, however, is not so strenuous—we'll be averaging about 6-8 miles a day. However, combined with the altitude and cold, summiting the mountain is a challenge. By giving us more time on the trek, we'll improve our chances of reaching the top by having more time to acclimatize. In short, you don't need to be super fit to join this trek but you cannot be "out of shape."
There is no special clothing required, but you will want to have warm clothing and decent boots.
