How difficult are the treks?
In the Himalayas you can find the holiday that meets your activity level and aspirations. Each trek/tour has been graded to help you choose the holiday that is right for you.

TREK GRADES

EASY - involve the least amount of trekking - on average less than 6 hours a day - predominantly at low altitudes of under 10,000ft, and on good paths. Any active person in good physical condition should enjoy these treks.

MODERATE - a reasonable level of fitness is required for these treks, as the trekking day will involve a greater degree of height gain/loss than easy treks. Moderate treks are suitable for most hill walkers with on average 5 -7 hours of walking a day.

DEMANDING - demanding treks involve extended periods of trekking, some long days and may include the crossing of a high pass over 15,000ft. These treks are suitable for regular hill walkers who are confident about their fitness.

Our grading system is designed to give an indication of the relative difficulty of our treks and inevitably most trips contain elements of two or more grades. A positive mental attitude is as important as fitness when choosing a trek. Before making a decision, we recommend that you study our trek dossiers and contact us to discuss which trek is right for you
