As we have a huge range of trips, with something for
everybody who wants to experience Nepal, we have rated all the
trips to assist you in deciding which trip is right for you with
an idea of how much physical effort you can expect on the trip.
EASY
Obviously easiest trips and are designed to be enjoyed by
anyone. For trekking, these are the easiest trips. The treks
still involve walking up and down gradual hills, on well-defined
trails and with trekking days that rarely exceed 5 to 6 hours at
a gentle pace.
EASY/MEDIUM
Can be enjoyed by just about anyone, however there is usually
some form of activity included during the trip, such as
trekking, rafting, biking. There may be the occasional long
traveling day. Treks rarely exceed 3,500 meters, and are
generally no more than 6 hours each day. If you are a little fit
you will enjoy these trips even more. There may be some camping
at low altitudes and comfortable locations for short periods
only.
MEDIUM
These trips will include some physical component, and a moderate
level of fitness is handy. Additionally, traveling can be little
rough, and therefore more demanding. Trekking will involve
longer days and steeper hills up and down. Whilst you are only
carrying a daypack, some sections will be tiring. The trails
will be well-defined and altitudes can be around 4,000 meters.
MEDIUM/HARD
These trips include a physical component and potentially some
hard travelling days. Physical preparation is recommended. Some
appreciation of adventure travel is also important, as
travelling conditions can be tough. Trekking may involve long
walking days, over steep terrain, on well-defined trails.
Altitudes may exceed 5,000 metres and the trip may involve
camping for long periods
HARD
The main component at this level is likely to be a long, high
altitude trek, uphill mountain biking on rough terrain or other
adventure activity that requires physical and mental stamina.
You should be in good physical shape before embarking on one of
these adventures. A high level of physical preparation is
essential, as you may be walking, cycling or other activity for
up to 8 hours per day. Altitudes will often exceed 4000 metres
and there may be camping in remote areas and/or for relatively
long periods
MOUNTAINEERING
The main component of all these trips is alpine climbing in the
Himalayas. This is a strenuous activity and definitely requires
a good level of fitness and stamina as a minimum. You should
also be prepared for long, hard travelling and uncomfortable
lodging and camping conditions. Altitudes will exceed 5000
metres and there will be camping in remote areas, at altitude
and/or for relatively long periods, often subject to cold and
alpine conditions.
