Trekking, the meaning of which is “travel by foot along mountain
trails”, can be done for just a few days or for a month or more,
in the same style as exploratory or mountaineering expeditions.
Whilst trekking, Sharps serve as guides, interpreters, cooks and
camp staff. Porters, horses or yaks carry all food, fuel,
camping equipment and your personal belongings so that you need
only carry what you might want during the day. At night, either
you can stay in tents or local lodges known as teahouses and
sleep in sleeping bags, all of which are carried with the
trekking party.
