given each a grade, although this is only a simple guide for

decidingwhich trek is suitable for you. Remember start with
a lower grade, you will enjoy your trek far more if your fitness

If you need help in choosing the right trek, we will be happy
to offer advice without any obligation 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.
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
