EASY
TREK |
|
Interesting treks designed
for those willing to do an
introductory trek in Nepal.
Ordinary physical
preparation should be
enough. An easy trek by
Nepalese standards though it
does involve climbing up and
down hills. The trails do
not exceed 2,900m in
altitude and the walking
duration is about 4 to 5
hours a day. |

MODERATE TREK |
|
Suitable for those with more
time to spare and for those
who are reasonably fit and
ready to walk 6 to 7 hours a
day and reaching 4000m at
the most. Physical
preparation such as regular
walking is suggested. |

ADVENTUROUS TREK |
These treks are reasonably
demanding and require all
participants to be fit and
in excellent health. Normal
walking duration is 7 to 8
hours a day. The trek also
involves high altitude treks
of over 4000m, which will
occasionally reach above
5000m. Some treks included
here will, in part, be well
away from villages on
ill-defined mountain trails.
No mountaineering experience
is required and it can be
managed by a very fit first
timer willing to rough it
out a bit. Physical
preparation however, is
necessary such as jogging
and regular walking for a
couple of months before your
trip.
Here we include all Tibet
trips primarily because of
the rigors of the climate
and overall altitude,
varying between Lhasa at
3,700m/12,000ft, to high
pass crossing, by vehicle or
on foot in excess of
5,000m/16,000ft. |

STRENUOUS TREK |
|
Climbing/Strenuous Treks
These are very demanding
treks suitable for veterans
and hard-core adventurers.
The trek will involve
crossing high mountain
passes of over 5,400 meters
and trekking peaks of 5,500m
to over 6000m.
Mountaineering skills and
knowledge of using climbing
equipment such as ice axe,
crampons, etc is a must.
Special permits are
necessary for climbing
trekking peaks and medical
certificates are required
prior to acceptance on any
climbing treks. |
