Easy.Treks involve up to 6 hours of walking a day, on good trails
with plenty of time for sightseeing. Itineraries include rest days
and altitudes generally do not exceed 3500 metres. However easy
doesn’t mean never tired; anyone who enjoys regular exercise,
weekend hill walking and is in good physical condition should easily
cope with these treks. Easy is a relative term, there will be some
exertion involved; trekking is rarely flat and includes ascents
& descents. Moderate..Treks involve walking for 6 to 8 hours
a day in more remote country, reaching altitudes of approximately
4500 metres. A reasonable level of fitness is required as there
will be much ascent and descent with the occasional difficult day.
A regular hill walking background is desirable but train well and
you’ll be ready for these trips.
Demanding.Treks are hard, suitable for regular, longer distance
hill walkers, they are generally more challenging and remote, involving
7 or 8-hour days, with altitudes up to 5895 metres. Some days may
involve crossing a pass with up to 10 hours walking. Previous trekking
experience is advisable but not essential if you are confident in
your physical ability and have completed essential and appropriate
preparation |
