Trek Gradation: - It becomes necessary to know which trek
matches most with your physical capabilities in order to enjoy
your trekking in Nepal. Thus, we have categorized all our treks
in the following ranks.
Easy: - Easy trekking by Himalayan Standard is generally up to
2000m. There are plenty of up and downs on the trails. This type
of trip is best suited for those who leave a reasonably active
life. The trek takes about 3 to 7 days, walking about 4 to 5
hours a day.
Moderate: - It involves longer treks (five to ten days) on
maintained trails. This type of trek includes perhaps day
excursions to higher elevations. It is desirable to have some
previous hill- walking experience. On these trek, generally we
attain the altitude between 900m to 3000m. This trek is also
moderate trek.
Moderate to Strenuous: - It is a reasonably demanding trek at
altitude up to 4000m with side trips to higher elevations. This
is classified as ill – defined trails, away from habitation.
Strenuous: - These treks must be fully supported. The altitude
attained between 3500 to 5000m. & this trek involves couples of
night stays above 4000m. For this trek, trekkers should be fit &
enthusiastic hill walkers prepared to tackle difficult terrain
in remote areas.
Very Strenuous: - This trek is best described as Alpine Trek.
This trek is suitable for those in excellent health, capable of
carrying a backpack, as the treks sometime will be in very
remote areas reaching crossing. During trek, you have to
cross-snow covered passes in very remote areas or climb up to
6500m. There it is normally desirable to have some previous
experience of handling axes & crampons. It is essential to
accept medical certificates prior to start the trek. |
